El-Hadj Wasiu Kayode As-Sideeq & Alfa Qamardeen Yusuff (Ayeloyun) -- Opeloyeru [Tape Rip]

If I am not mistaken, this is a 2002 tape of islamic Yoruba music from Lagos. I bought this tape in Dalston Market in London, from a miserable looking stall. The cassettes were litteraly covered in earth, but under the plastic they were brand new and in perfect condition (did the earth protect them from the sun?).

Since the music doesn't stop in between the songs and the beat stays the same, I made only two files ─ one fer each side. The tracks are:

A1. Opeloyeru
A2. Gbese Oni Wole Tomi
A3. Allah Ya Allah
A4. Foriji Mi

B1.Duniyana Hasanata
B2. Iwo Baba Iwo Momo
B3. Moni Allah Nile
B4. A O Maa Kirun

Below are videos of El-Hadj Wasiu Kayode As-Sideeq (who I suppose to be the singer on side A) and Alfa Qamardeen Yusuff aka Ayeloyun (side B).

Live recording of a 1973 performance by oud master and singer Farid El Atrache, with a crazy, roaring crowd. Ripped from an old tape.

va - Mounaw'at Lubnanieh (منوعـات لبنـانيـة) - Lebanese Varieties Vol. 3: Suzana

My lil' brother scored this tape from an obscur shop some time ago - I play it over and over again in my car since then. The thing is I don't have sufficient education to decypher the names of songs or singers, or of the compilation itself. Even the fact that it comes from Lebanon was only deduced by the presence on the sleeve of the green cedar. If anyone can help decode a few words (the title at least) from the cover above, I would be very grateful.

Get it here.
