	7:03pm tim abdellah: Hey Gary - so excited for this!!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:03pm Yvang: Hi Gary and Bodegists Associés!
	7:03pm mic_a: Oh! Someone else is here! I was getting scared. Hello Gary and bopos!
	7:04pm peter: hey Gary & co.!
	♥ 7:05pm Gary: Tim, Yvang, mic_a, and Peter!
	♥ 7:06pm Gary: Peter, I confess I have yet to listen to the Sothy material, but I will this week
	7:06pm tim abdellah: My old band used to do a funk version of this song
	♥ 7:07pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @7:06 Awesomeness
	7:07pm mic_a: Hello Yvang, I just got your "Fearless Colors" book in the mail yesterday. My eyes may never be the same.
	7:08pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "El Kahwa Ouel Atay" by "Nadia Benyoucef & Abdelka... It's about coffee and tea arguing in front of a judge as to which one of them is the more beneficial drink.
	♥ 7:10pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @7:08 OMG
	♥ 7:12pm Gary: Tim, I got the feeling when I was hanging out listening to you and Mr. Shellachead talking about olden days that there were a LOT of groups doing this sort of music in the Bay Area
	♥ 7:17pm Gary: fr-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:20pm chresti: Hi Gary bodega show!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:21pm Ike: Greetings, humans!
	♥ 7:22pm Gary: Tha Chresti and Theee Ike!
	7:23pm tim abdellah: ↳ Gary @7:12 There were a good number of North African artists/groups here in the late 1990s to early 2010s. Some were more traditional (Moh Alileche, Yassir Chadly, Omar Ait Vimoun) and others more fusion/popular (The Dunes, MC Rai, NAR band, even Cheb Nasro was here for a couple of years). The scene was pretty vibrant, but groups broke up, people moved out of town, the ones still here got less active, and there have yet to emerge a group of newer/younger artists on the scene.
	♥ 7:24pm TDK60: Ho, Gary.
	♥ 7:24pm spodiodi: Greetings, Gary and all
	♥ 7:24pm Gary: TDK60 and Spodiodi!
	♥ 7:25pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @7:23 CHEB NASRO LIVED IN THE BAY AREA?!?
	7:26pm tim abdellah: ↳ Gary @7:25 Yeah! 1999-2000
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:33pm Listener Gregory: Arriving late, but to make up for it, I'll leave early.
	♥ 7:33pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "La Liberté - Freedom" by "Cheb Khaled" Cheb Khaled! I just re-watched the movie of their 1998 Paris concert -- "1, 2, 3, Soleils" with him, Faudel and Rachid Taha. What energy!
	♥ 7:35pm Gary: Gregory!
	♥ 7:36pm Gary: Whoops, accidentally gave away some of my game plan there haha
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:40pm Listener Gregory: Remember, folks, there are no accidents in the Bodega. All "errors" are carefully planned to have the desired aesthetic effect.
	7:43pm wimpy: Hi Gary! Hitting those seamless transitions between shows must feel pretty good huh?
	♥ 7:43pm Gary: Haha, Wimpy!
	7:47pm tim abdellah: Trying to look up info online about Ahmed Hachlaf who founded AAA. Looks like he was the director of the Arab catalog at Pathe Marconi in Paris before founding AAA. Some interesting info here: thefunambulist.net...
	7:49pm tim abdellah: Cool that in his 60s he was hip enough to recognize the importance of pop-rai and issue some compilations on AAA
	♥ 7:49pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @7:47 Thank you, Tim!
	7:53pm peter: ↳ Gary @7:06 no sweat! the files aren't going anywhere... hopefully
	7:54pm peter: ↳ tim abdellah @7:06 when is the Tim-Abdellah-Bay-Area-North-African-music bio-pic coming out?
	7:56pm tim abdellah: ↳ tim abdellah @7:23 I should have also mentioned DJ Cheb i Sabbah, who also promoted North African music in the Bay Area during those years on his radio program and produced shows of local and touring North African artists.
	8:00pm tim abdellah: ↳ peter @7:54 LOL!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:09pm WR: Hello Gary and folks. Have been enjoying all the tracks. One track in the first set, maybe the Danse Gitane, was very elegant. Will review from the archive. Was away from screens until now, so could not follow along on the playlist.
	♥ 8:10pm TDK60: ↳ WR @8:09 Muy enjoyamente, WR.
	8:11pm tim abdellah: The 1932 Cairo Congress was a huge musical and scholarly summit of Arab Music with delegations coming from all across the Arab world. en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 8:12pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @8:11 Thank you, Tim! Yeah, AAA published several CDs of material from that event
	♥ 8:12pm Gary: WR!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:16pm WR: ↳ tim abdellah @7:47 thank you for the link. so much to learn and unpack from that article.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:19pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Gary @8:12 You can listen to them while waiting for the tow truck to arrive.
	8:21pm tim abdellah: ↳ WR @8:16 For sure! Yes - a lot to unpack there. The height of colonial times, an attempt to "bring Arab music into the modern world", along the lines of what was considered modern at the time - standardization, preservation, revitalization. Whatever one thinks of the project, it's great that so many recordings were made and are available to us today.
	♥ 8:22pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @8:21 " ... proposals for the modernization and standardization of Arabic music were presented, including a proposal to standardize the Arabic tuning system to 24 equal steps per octave including quarter tones, thus substituting an equal-tempered system for the traditional non-tempered system ..." !!!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:26pm chresti: Having coffee in the coffee kitchen
	♥ 8:27pm Gary: ↳ chresti @8:26 One has whole kitchen devoted to coffee?
	8:30pm mic_a: Oh, that reminds me of something I thought of in between weeks. Last week's show, the ouds, fretless, can handle the expressive quarter tones easily. But listening to the archives, I realized the players made no use of the slurs or slides that fretless-ness makes possible. A stylistic choice or evolved tradition? Anyone know?
	8:33pm tim abdellah: ↳ Gary @8:22 Right! Problem was everybody's quarter tone is placed a bit higher or a bit lower than everyone else's - that's part of the expressive flavor of those modes. It would have been horrible to try to equal-temper that.
	8:35pm Carmichael: Heya Gary and purveyors
	♥ 8:36pm TDK60: ↳ tim abdellah @8:21 Tim- Interesting, I see in the Wikip article that two Euros were there too: Hindemith and Bartok.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:40pm Listener Gregory: ↳ TDK60 @8:36 !!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Idhared Ouagour" by "Slimane Azem" Gary, do you think Kabyle = Kabul, as we would now spell it?
	♥ 8:42pm Gary: And I messed up again, this is obviously not Slimane Azem but Abdelwahab Doukkali
	♥ 8:43pm Gary: Carmichael!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:54pm WR: ↳ Song: "Malou Bta Aliya" by "Boujemaa El Ankis" Here is the LP the track came from but don't see a date www.discogs.com...
	9:08pm BrooklynMaqam: Beautiful track
	♥ 9:16pm Gary: Brooklyn Maqam!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:25pm mackeral: I'm late, dog ate my homework. what?
	♥ 9:26pm Gary: Mackeral!
	9:26pm BrooklynMaqam: ↳ mic_a @8:30 Definitely a part of the different stylistic traditions. The main Syrian/Lebanese/Egyptian traditions use mostly pretty subtle slides, a technique in itself. There are lots of slides but it's a more subtle effect - it's not constant and doesn't stand out like in Blues or say, Indian music. Turkish music and some of the Gulf music uses more pronounced slides, but still it's a sporadic effect and not all the time. Slurs are also a very common, required technique on the oud. If you listen to the tracks by Samir Tahar, Farid el Atrache, Riad al Sounbati and Omar Bashir in particular there are plenty of slurs and slides, as well as a wide fretless vibrato that's unlike fretted instruments
	9:26pm Listener Gregory: First I undercooked my fancy sausage. Then I went back to cook it some more and got into the show, and now my pan is blackened. Thanks, Gary!
	9:26pm BrooklynMaqam: ↳ Gary @9:16 Gary! My new favorite radio show
	9:33pm mic_a: Thanks, BrooklynMaqam! And good evening everyone, best wishes, thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:36pm Gary: music-republic-world-traditional.blogspot.com...
	9:37pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "A Msadar - Oui Hosnouka Qad Ichtahar / Btaïhi - M... I believe Msadar and Btaihi are rhythmic cycles. The other words are song tltles or opening lines of the poetry. And "A" probably means it's the first side of the LP :)
	9:37pm Listener Gregory: @NrooklynMaqam, just don’t listen to it while cooking sausage.
	♥ 9:38pm TDK60: One could listen by radio. Even in Queens maybe.
	9:38pm peter: wow! some real behind-the-magic insights here!!
	♥ 9:40pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @9:37 Thank you for your knowledge and, indeed, sanity, Tim!
	9:40pm tim abdellah: Hey Gary and East Bay Peeps - good news re: the Down Home Music store in El Cerrito: lesblank.com
	♥ 9:40pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @9:38 but not Drummer obviously; tho it goes through my same tuner/amp.
	♥ 9:41pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @9:40 Awesome! Thanks for the update, Tim
	9:43pm BrooklynMaqam: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:37 thanks, I'll be careful
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: Hey Kids and Music Appreciators of All Ages and Tallnesses! Stick around after this mess for Sam Segal's always-already tidily awesome If You Lose Your Horse! Tonight's episode: "No Matter What Our Age and What Our Secret Horse" wfmu.org...
	9:47pm BrooklynMaqam: ↳ tim abdellah @9:37 Wow the man behind Moroccan Tape Stash! Amazing, big fan
	9:51pm DJ Peter via app: Oum Khaltoum!
	♥ 9:52pm Gary: Dj Peter!
	9:54pm tim abdellah: ↳ BrooklynMaqam @9:47 Hey BrooklynMaqam! Thanks - glad you've enjoyed the Stash! Wish I coulda been in NY for the Oud-Fest - sounds amazing!
	♥ 9:56pm spodiodi: Great show, thanks, Gary!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:57pm WR: ↳ tim abdellah @9:40 I got a virus clicking that link, seems the lesblank.com site is compromised.
	9:58pm Listener Gregory: Excellent show. I thank you and my sausages thank you, Gary.
	♥ 9:58pm TDK60: Gracias Gary.
	9:59pm tim abdellah: Thanks Gary - Great to hear all this AAA/Club du Disque Arabe material. It was a great imprint - particularly strong on these old archival reissues and on Algerial material of many genres. Hachlaf and his brother published a book called "Anthologie de la musique arabe, 1906-1960" - it's basically a discography of Arab music on 78rpm records from around the Arab world, with a number of biographical essays that read like CD liner notes. I tap it at the UC Berkeley Music Library from time to time :)
	9:59pm tim abdellah: ↳ WR @9:57 ouch - sorry WR!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 10:00pm WR: ↳ WR @9:57 got a pop up that tricked me into clicking allow notifications in order to go to the site.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 10:00pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 10:00pm Gary: Night and thanks, everyone!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 10:07pm WR: ↳ tim abdellah @9:59 seems it wasn't too bad, just had to go the ms edge notification settings and block the website bridgegapdevice.co.in and the pop ups stopped. phew.

	♥ 9:58pm TDK60: Gracias Gary.
	9:59pm tim abdellah: Thanks Gary - Great to hear all this AAA/Club du Disque Arabe material. It was a great imprint - particularly strong on these old archival reissues and on Algerial material of many genres. Hachlaf and his brother published a book called "Anthologie de la musique arabe, 1906-1960" - it's basically a discography of Arab music on 78rpm records from around the Arab world, with a number of biographical essays that read like CD liner notes. I tap it at the UC Berkeley Music Library from time to time :)
	9:59pm tim abdellah: ↳ WR @9:57 ouch - sorry WR!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 10:00pm WR: ↳ WR @9:57 got a pop up that tricked me into clicking allow notifications in order to go to the site.
