Un paisaje que, en s\u00ed mismo, evoca m\u00fasica. Creci\u00f3 bajo la luz seca de la monta\u00f1a, rodeado de los ritmos de la naturaleza y la cultura bereber. Se sabe muy poco de \u00e9l; un halo de misterio a\u00fan envuelve su vida, intensificando la fascinaci\u00f3n. En la d\u00e9cada de 1970, mientras Marruecos se transformaba, Abdou El Omari forj\u00f3 un sonido propio: una fusi\u00f3n visionaria de jazz espiritual, funk psicod\u00e9lico, tradiciones marroqu\u00edes y experimentaci\u00f3n electr\u00f3nica temprana. Hoy, su obra resurge, redescubierta por una nueva generaci\u00f3n de oyentes en busca de horizontes perdidos. Este disco se erige como uno de sus fragmentos m\u00e1s raros y valiosos. A los veintid\u00f3s a\u00f1os, fund\u00f3 su primer grupo, Les Fugitifs, que le vali\u00f3 fama local. Poco despu\u00e9s, lanz\u00f3 discos y casetes con sellos como Cl\u00e9op\u00e2tre, Hassania, Boussiphone, Hilali y el suyo propio, Al Awtar, mientras actuaba en RTM (radio y televisi\u00f3n nacional). Tambi\u00e9n compuso para artistas como Naima Samih, Laila Ghofran y Aicha El Waad. En 1976, a trav\u00e9s del sello Gam, public\u00f3 su \u00fanico \u00e1lbum en vinilo, Nuits d&#8217;\u00e9t\u00e9, un disco que d\u00e9cadas despu\u00e9s se convertir\u00eda en un cl\u00e1sico de culto y que fue reeditado en 2017 por Radio Martiko. En la d\u00e9cada de 1980, su m\u00fasica se volvi\u00f3 m\u00e1s discreta y reservada. Intent\u00f3 recuperar sus antiguas cintas de los estudios donde hab\u00eda grabado, pero poco a poco se fue retirando de la escena y volvi\u00f3 a la peluquer\u00eda. Pionero de la fusi\u00f3n musical, abri\u00f3 caminos que permanecer\u00edan inexplorados durante a\u00f1os. Falleci\u00f3 en 2010, sin llegar a presenciar el redescubrimiento de su m\u00fasica por parte de buscadores, blogueros y coleccionistas en l\u00ednea. Un d\u00eda, su amigo \u00edntimo y poeta Aziz Essamadi rescat\u00f3 una caja de cart\u00f3n de la basura: una caja que conten\u00eda los archivos personales de Abdou El Omari. Posteriormente, la caja fue confiada al coleccionista Ahmed Khalil, afincado en Casablanca y fundador del sello Dikraphone. En su interior se encontraban tesoros preservados por casualidad: demos, ensayos, grabaciones privadas, fotograf\u00edas in\u00e9ditas y una impresionante cinta de casete casi olvidada. Aqu\u00ed, El Omari suena m\u00e1s audaz que nunca, explorando territorios donde el pop, el disco c\u00f3smico, el blues el\u00e9ctrico y la tradici\u00f3n marroqu\u00ed se fusionan sin l\u00edmites. Armado con su sintetizador ARP Odyssey, ritmos hipn\u00f3ticos y las capas celestiales de su Farfisa, ampli\u00f3 el di\u00e1logo entre las ra\u00edces profundas y la exploraci\u00f3n electr\u00f3nica. Este \u00e1lbum es la continuaci\u00f3n de una visi\u00f3n: una m\u00fasica del futuro marroqu\u00ed: arraigada, pero que busca lo desconocido. Colorida, magn\u00e9tica y atemporal, esta es m\u00fasica tanto para bailar como para so\u00f1ar.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abdou El Omari naci\u00f3 en 1945 en Tafraout, al sur de Agadir, un pueblo suspendido entre los picos de granito rosa del Anti-Atlas y las olas del Atl\u00e1ntico.

Very little is known about the man -- a veil of mystery still surrounds his life, only deepening the fascination. In the 1970s, as Morocco was transforming, Abdou El Omari shaped a sound of his own -- a visionary blend of spiritual jazz, psychedelic funk, Moroccan traditions, and early electronic experimentation.

One day, his close friend and poet Aziz Essamadi, rescued a cardboard box from the trash -- a box containing Abdou El Omari&#039;s personal archives. It was later entrusted to Casablanca based collector Ahmed Khalil, founder of the label Dikraphone. Inside were treasures preserved by chance: demos, rehearsals, private recordings, unseen photographs -- and a stunning, almost forgotten cassette. Here, El Omari sounds bolder than ever, exploring territories where pop, cosmic disco, electric blues, and Moroccan tradition merge without boundaries. Armed with his ARP Odyssey synthesizer, hypnotic grooves, and the celestial layers of his Farfisa, he expanded the dialogue between deep roots and electronic exploration.
