There is a web page with a series of 5850 78 rpm records from someone's collection. They're divided into 7 categories: Arabic, Japanese, Greek, Italian, French, Russian and Latin. I made a selection of 21 songs, but go check out the rest if you like: http://78records.cdbpdx.com/ All the labels have been scanned, but the titles in arabic, cyrillic or greek alphabets are not decyphered. I'm not any better at doing so, so I added the labels to the zip. The tape has Brazilian, Latin, Arabic (Egyptian, I think) and Russian songs on side A, and Greek songs on side B. All 128kbps I'm afraid.
Here it is.
this is amazing!

ReplyDeleteI just found this blog and absolute love it! This mix has replaced the white noise of Emirati and Omani top 40 music on my rides to work. I played "Betkalem Gad" for an Egyptian friend leaving the Sultante. I wish that we recorded our cute karaoke version.
ReplyDeletePlease post more mixes! You are doing a fabulous job. I'll link my blog with my photo tours of old Egypt and weird places around Oman.
