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.
