{"product_id":"ferkat-al-ard-oghneya","title":"FERKAT AL ARD-OGHNEYA","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn absolutely legendary album from Lebanon by Issam Hajali’s group Ferkat Al Ard, “Oghneya” stands out as one of the great musical gems of the Arab world. A groundbreaking release from 1978 that represents the meeting point of Arab, jazz, folk and Brazilian styles with the talent of Ziad Rahbani, who did the albums arrangements. Filled with a variety of sounds and genres, from Baroque Pop to Psych-Folk to flashes of Bossa Nova, Tropicalia and MPB, “Oghneya” is like if Arthur Verocai took a trip to Beirut in the 70’s to record an album.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSadly there are two tracks from the original release of “Oghneya” that did not make it onto the reissue. “Ghfyara Ghaza” was replaced by the song “Juma’a 6 Hziran.” while “Huloul” was taken off without a replacement. This happened as a precondition from the band for this reissue to happen. We would have loved to include all tracks, but the decision ranged between having either a reissue like the one we put out or no reissue at all. Thus, an easy choice for us. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALLIANCE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45298949259379,"sku":null,"price":32.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/0342\/0787\/files\/image_546c2fca-a034-4d21-86f7-4d44ff764d8f.png?v=1785608771","url":"https:\/\/www.techniquerecords.com\/products\/ferkat-al-ard-oghneya","provider":"Technique Records LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
