Farid MP3s (To Mike and Everyone)


Hey Mike, I have some old old Farid tapes that i just made into MP3's. These songs are not on your site and I was wondering if you want me to post them or e-mail them to you so you can put them on your site?

Hey Merc,

I have just about all of Farido's CD's and numerous tapes. What are the song titles that you encoded? I'd love to get a hold of any that I don't have. So, yeah, go ahead and email me a list and I'll let you know what I'm missing.

Thanks,
Mike

sure no prob


ok, no problem, I don't know the song titles, sorry about that. I will hopefully upload them today, can someone let me know how to upload more than one file at a time, that would be appreciated :cool: I know the tape has a couple awel hamsa songs but they are higher pitch than the ones you have on your site (maybe different oud or tuning) and a slightly different Nagham fi Hayati Taqsim and some Adi Rabiih, just to list a few, but there are others I don't know the name of. There are a couple of songs (with drum beats) and some that aren't. I havent converted everything to computer yet but I will provide what I have done so far.

Hey mercm525i,

Thanks for this! Man, this brings back memories of the Farido site. I am looking forward to when Wassimo has it online again. I think this might have been a recording from an interview or radio program. I don't think this is on any of his CDs or tapes. Did you get this from a family member? Either way, thanks for sharing it with us man. Check out the MP3 page to hear a recording for Sunbati that I just uploaded. It was sent to me by a visitor of the website. Many thanks to Hussain for that one too.

Thanks again,
Mike

I have a taqasim tape for Farid, but definitely not the same one you have. Amazing! These are just "bootlegs" that people compile and release. Imagine what else is out there!

sorry man, I didn't mean bootleg in a bad way. I meant someone recorded these from a concert, complied them, and released them

The Farido Tapes


Amazingly, I also have a copy of this same Farid tape. Several years ago I copied it from a commercial audio cassette belonging to my Lebanese father-in-law. It has the same tape print-through on the first track that can be heard on mercm525i's tape. There is also the distinctive sound of disk surface noise (same as on mercm525i's tape).
So it seems the tapes had their origins in a badly recorded dub from disk. My copy is only a cassette-to-cassete dub, but I will take a digital copy off the original cassette during the holidays (on the off chance that it is a better copy than mercm525i's).

Regards,

Greg

Hey Merc,

I have never heard that second one either. I too thought I had most of Farido's stuff. Although this doesn't sound like his kinda style, keep them coming my man. :applause:

Thanks,
Mike
