"Originally released as a double CD in 2010, 'Wallahi Le Zein!' has persisted as a cult classic, a collection of a rarely heard and utterly unique underground music scene, raw and unfiltered.(...) Operating entirely outside of any local recording industry, these songs were collected from bootleg tape stalls, wedding souveniers, and networks of musicians, expertly curated, researched and produced by Matthew Lavoie. Drawing from the deep well of Mauritanian classical music, the gamut of musical modes and the tidinitt lute repertoire are transposed to the electric guitar - often with frets removed or additional frets installed, “heavy metal” distortion pedals and phasers built into guitar bodies, blurring the lines between Haratine and Beydane musical cultures, the ancient and the futuristic." (Mississippi Records)
