Wewantsounds present a first-time vinyl reissue \u003cstrong\u003eFairuz's\u003c\/strong\u003e classic album Kifak Inta produced by her son \u003cstrong\u003eZiad Rahbani\u003c\/strong\u003e in the late '80s and only released on cassette and CD in 1991. Composed and arranged by Rahbani, who had already produced \u003cstrong\u003eWahdon\u003c\/strong\u003e (1979) and \u003cstrong\u003eMaarifti Feek \u003c\/strong\u003e(1987), Kifak Inta features his usual blend of jazz, funk, and Arabic music, spiced up with Brazilian influences serving \u003cstrong\u003eFairuz's\u003c\/strong\u003e beautiful voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFairuz\u003c\/strong\u003e is a living legend and one of the greatest divas of the Arab world. She came to prominence in the '50s crossing path with the \u003cstrong\u003eRahbani Brothers\u003c\/strong\u003e (Assi and Mansour) an encounter that turned into a fruitful collaboration that would last until the '70s, spawning countless classics in the process. \u003cstrong\u003eFairuz's\u003c\/strong\u003e marriage with Assi produced a son, Ziad, who would start a brilliant career as a cutting-edge playwright, musician, and producer in the early '70s. When Assi Rahbani became ill in the mid-70s and the couple separated, Ziad took over as Fairuz's musical director and started to add elements of jazz, funk, and bossa nova to her music. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collaboration started in 1979 with \u003cstrong\u003eWahdon\u003c\/strong\u003e which included the funky cult classic \"Al Bosta\". They worked together again in 1983-84 on the album Maarifti Feek which was released in 1987 and continued their collaboration with Kifak Inta a few years later. The album was released on the Lebanese label Relax-in in 1991 on cassette and CD only, but, although there are no recording dates listed, the track \"Ouverture 87\" indicates it was recorded around that year. The album follows the same pattern as previous Ziad Rahbani productions for his mother and mixes traditional Arabic music (\"Farewell Song\", \"It's Not a Problem\"), jazz-funk (\"Ya Leili Leili Leili\"), and bossa nova (\"Indi Thika Fik\"), all featuring Ziad's superb orchestrations and slick arrangements. The jewel in the crown is the album's title track, \"Kifak Inta\" (And You, How Are You?), a ballad written and composed by \u003cstrong\u003eZiad Rahbani.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA2        فيكن تنسو (You Can Forget)\u003cbr\u003eA3        مقدمة 87 (Ouverture 87)\u003cbr\u003eA4        ياليلي ليلي ليلي (Ya Leili Leili Leili)    \u003cbr\u003eA5        إعادة (Reprise)    \u003cbr\u003eA6        بروفا كيفك إنت (Prova)\u003cbr\u003eB1        كيف انت \"Kifak Inta\" (How Are You?)    \u003cbr\u003eB2        ضيعانو (Dia Anou)    \u003cbr\u003eB3        في شيء عم بيصير (Something Is Happening)    \u003cbr\u003eB4        عندي ثقة فيك (Indi Thika Fik)    \u003cbr\u003eB5        مش قصة هاي (It's Not A Problem)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nvr4lPoKqzI?si=Tkz9ObhtKRMP8pj6\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fairuz","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":48514828337396,"sku":null,"price":79.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0450\/3165\/3527\/files\/WWSLP064LP_CU.jpg?v=1780189830"},{"product_id":"various-ayam-el-disco-vinyl","title":"Various - Ayam El Disco (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWewantsounds is delighted to release \u003cstrong\u003eAyam El Disco\u003c\/strong\u003e, a new selection of Egyptian 1980s disco and boogie cassette tracks curated by Egyptian DJ Disco Arabesquo, following his highly acclaimed \u003cstrong\u003eSharayet El Disco\u003c\/strong\u003e.
