• Salim Halali died in anonymity in 2005, his glory days as one of the great performers of the Maghreb song style long over, despite covers of his hits by l’Orchestre de Barbes and Mano Negra

• Born into a Jewish Berber family in Annaba, Algeria he moved to Paris in the 1930s and began his career singing Spanish songs. Once he was persuaded to adopt the Maghreb style he became hugely successful, feted by the stars of politics and showbiz -- famously making Robert Mitchum weep with his rendition of Ma Yiddish Mama

• The 13 tracks on this disc reveal a truly magnificent voice and a delivery full of raw emotion
