Rayssa Fatima Tabaamrant is a raissa, a traditional itinerant female singer from southern Morocco, who performs in town squares, bars or weddings, and whose lyrics deal with anything from local to international affairs or social issues of the day. She is also a quite astonishingly rousing performer, with a declamatory style and the ability to improvise that make her sound like a traditional answer to a great blues or rock performer.
This may look like an album for ethno-musicologists with its erudite sleeve-notes, but the lady deserves a wider audience. Backed by a stomping band using hand drums, cymbals made from car-wheel rims, lutes and fiddles, she tears into this live set with a 15-minute track that constantly changes direction and ends up as a furious workout against a driving, insistent riff from her musicians. Exhilarating.
