Mouasalat Ila Jacad El Ard leftfield tight dance songs unlike thatIssam Hajali's 1977 solo debut, recorded in Paris during political exile. A stripped down, introspective work blending melancholic folk with jazz and santoor textures, set to Palestinian poet Samih El Kasem's verses. Self dubbed and hand distributed in Beirut, fewer than 100 copies circulatedthis reissue restores a hidden precursor to Hajali's later work with Ferkat Al Ard, sourced from his sole surviving original cassette.
