Abdou El Omari - Lost Tape 1980 (New Vinyl)
The personal archives of Abdou El Omari, rescued at the last minute by his friend Aziz Essamadi and then entrusted to collector Ahmed Khalil (Dikraphone), reveal a previously unseen musical treasure. Demos, private recordings, and photos showcase a daring artist, fusing pop, cosmic disco, electric blues, and Moroccan traditions. Using synthesizers (ARP Odyssey, Farfisa) and rhythms blending funk with Moroccan 6/8 time signatures, El Omari crafts a psychedelic and visionary sound, poised between deep roots and an imagined future. This album embodies the culmination of his dream: a Moroccan music of the future, both danceable and dreamlike.
