Thanks to Tim Abdellah for the artist/track title transliteration from the Arabic.

Congrats on the shoutout in New York mag...
Looks to me like "Sawt al Jamal" is the name of the production label, not the artist or album. I say so because that's what's written in the logo at the top.
Tim Abdellah's translation of the artist and track names above looks pretty good to me. I might transliterate the artist name as "Arwiha wa awlad cherif" ... not that that one is going to be much easier to find any background info on.

loved your site since heather browne introduced me to it but i can't use this new download thingy.i don't have a cell.and i don't like BLOODY SPAM!sorry.
ugh, zshare is such a bitch to download from. they will end a d/load whenever they wish. i tried at least 7 times to get side 2. could you - or any kind soul, for that matter - upload it someplace else, please?
ok i changed all the recent links to mediafire, hope that's a little easier. i am going through a hosting transition, so sorry for the trouble.
imho the choice of Mediafire makes PERFECT sense for your blog since they allow multiple parallel downloads. too bad i won't be able to make it to Katowice to thank you in person, so i am thanking you hereby, sir.
