Description
A beautiful mlange of folk, jazz and sound from Lebanon. Recorded in late 1970s Beirut by Rogr Fakhr who at the time also played guitar for Ziad Rahbani and Fairouz. Rogr Fakhr is a musician from Lebanon. He recorded these songs in the late 1970s in Beirut (and some during a brief exile in Paris). Some were circulated on hand copied cassettes among friends, others like Had To Come Back Wetwere never released. His music effortlessly combines folk with touches of jazz and soul. He wrote, composed and arranged all songs. While working on his own music he also played for Ziad Rahbani, Fairouz and other musicians.
The music was a mixture of folk with touches of other genres. Maybe one could also refer to it as ‘singer-songwriter’, since all of the songs were Roger’s own compositions. Songs of unique beauty both musically as well as lyrically. The immersive effect of his compositions and voice are just incredible. viaInner Ocean Records
