• Music whose roots can be traced back more than 2000 years to the first Jewish settlements in North Africa but flowered during the Arab occupation of Andalusia during the Middle Ages and continued to flourish across the Maghreb in succeeding centuries

• El Afrite began singing in Tunisia as a young man before the advent of the phonograph, entertaining parties at the Bey's palace, but in later years his recordings brought him fame across the whole region. He died in 1939

• During his career he wrote over 400 songs. This collection presents the best of them
