Review

Beginning as a street-singer in his native Sale, near Rabat, Hocine became one of very few Moroccan singers popular outside his own country. Unlike the other names of the '40s, he was a humorist, a satirist, and a commentator on daily life: his first big hit detailed the effect on Morocco of the arrival of US troops in 1942. This recording from 1948 is one of his earliest. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music, Rovi
