Casablanca Pt. 2

Tapes are on print. Fesmaatic (a printing company and record label which releases many moroccan contemporary music) is doing its best to try to give me 100 copies by this afternoon.
I will leave for Joujouka tomorrow early morning and will stay there for the first night of the festival, looking forward to it.
I will receive part of the tapes directly in Italy, I will collect them in a parking lot somewhere in Milan. Party people.

Casablanca is tough. It’s a huge city and you can feel it in every movement you do. I bought a lot of tapes, cds and 7″s. Just arrived from the shop Le Comptoir Marocain (find out more on Rupture’s blog: http://www.negrophonic.com/2011/beyond-digital-old-vinyl-and-new-pop-in-casablanca/). Yesterday I bought some stuff from Fesmaatic like Maghreb mixes and some chaabi stuff. You can easily find some mp3 cdrs for 5 Dh, I got one which have only a picture of a weird snake and a fat man, another guy is holding a rifle and is pointing toward them; no info of any kind included. I will listen (or watch, should it be a video cd?) and then publish something for sure, at least the scan of the cover.
Same for other cds and tapes I bought, I promise myself to share some mp3s and thoughts.

End of the second and probably last report from Casà.
