pieces of albums sometimes

this time Mahmoud Guenya. Some friends brought this back from Essaouira, the number of tracks doesn’t match the CD, I can’t read arabic, any assistance appreciated. Track 3 is like an down-escalator blowing backwards. Is that Pharoah Sanders? It sounds like Pharoah Sanders. Wikipedia says he recorded with Pharoah Sanders. Other collected mirror fragments here. Internet as a sometimes periscope with a bent tube.
Mahmoud Guinia – Track 3 (Assamaoui? w/Pharaoah Sanders?) 320k 12.3mb

Wow, this is gorgeous! Sounds kind of like capoeira music… As for the Arabic. The first word under the English looks like Ayesha (the prophet’s lovely wife) and the second is the artist’s name. The print at the top is hard to read.

The album he recorded with Pharoah Sanders was released in 1994 with the title “The Trance of Seven Colours” & it is superb. Great blog by the way.

many thanks to lamin – that comment got lost in my moderate box for a while…
…more free jazz soon come, I have a large (digital) pile waiting to be listened to.
Yes, that is Pharoah Sanders on tenor sax. The track you posted is the opening piece (and it’s titled “La Allah dayim moulenah”) from a collabo LP titled Trance of Seven Colors. It was recorded and released in 1994– and Produced by Bill Laswell.
The version you posted is short compared to the one on the album, which is about twice the length.

Please make another ‘free jazz’ post soon. It’s been a long time. At least re-up that Alan Silva piece for those of us who missed it first time round.
