{"product_id":"ferkat-al-ard-oghneya","title":"Ferkat Al Ard - Oghneya","description":"\u003cp\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":"Habibi Funk","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":57879311843660,"sku":"BLX-14778","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0841\/2738\/3884\/files\/a2212652305_10.jpg?v=1782312366","url":"https:\/\/badlands.co.uk\/products\/ferkat-al-ard-oghneya","provider":"Badlands","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
