Like its Maghreb neighbours, Algeria and Morocco, both larger and more populated, Tunisia has a very rich musical heritage.
Born in Tunis in 1884, Issirene Rozia, aka Cheikh El Afrite (‘the
little devil’) was a brilliant representative of one the most splendid
periods in the history of Tunisian music. His amazing voice excelled in
the various style of that great epoch : malouf, zajal, hilalian, fondo,
fezzani and tripolitan. Cheickh El Aftite, who passed away in 1939, had
a repertoire of over four hundred songs. This collection presents the
best of his work.
