Sublime Frequencies is honored to be
releasing the third LP by the now
legendary Group Doueh. Group Doueh have
been playing in and around their native
Dakhla, in the Western Sahara for over
27 years. Sublime Frequencies discovery
of the group, via a song heard on a
radio broadcast in Morocco in 2005 and
an exploratory mission in 2006 that
landed Hisham Mayet in the group's
compound after chasing an overland trail
all the way to the Mauritanian border
sealed the band's relationship with the
label. A successful European tour (with
label mate Omar Souleyman in 2009)
ensued and western audiences were
finally able to witness the power of the
group's mighty live shows. Doueh's
guitar heroics and wife Halima Jakani
and Bashiri Touballi's soaring vocal
interplay entranced all who were
present. This LP showcases a different
side to Group Doueh's far reaching
arsenal of sounds. The songs represented
on this album adhere to the roots of
Saharoui music---drawing from the
classical repertoire of ancestral
Mauritanian musical modes. Using the
traditional Moorish instruments such as
the Tinidit (three string Mauritanian
lute), Ardin (Kora like harp played
traditionally by women), Tbal (clay
drum) and the Kass (tea glasses) along
with guitar and Korg synth, Group Doueh
manage to attain heights of spiritual
poetry that this music aspires to
convey. Halima's ardin playing and most
importantly her vocal prowess take this
music to blissful and exalted realms.
Doueh's tinidit and guitar overlays
showcase the technical virtuosity and
command that this master has over the
region's stringed instruments. This is
the music of Group Doueh's roots and the
band truly takes these traditions to
cosmic heights. Recorded by Group Doueh
and Hisham Mayet on location in Dakhla,
West Sahara in 2010. This Limited
edition vinyl LP comes in a beautiful
full color gatefold Jacket.
