This album was released in 1988 by Ouardia, a female singer who legitimately inherits the traditional music of the Kabyl region on the Mediterranean Sea in Algeria, North Africa. This album was released in 1988 on Globe Style, a label that has released a lot of modern world music from North Africa and Arab countries. The lyricism is in Kabyl, a Berber language used in northern Algeria, and the vocals have a unique inflection with a round darbukka rhythm and a fine oud melody. The recording and sound quality are also very good.
