{"product_id":"ziad-rahbani-abu-ali","title":"Ziad Rahbani 'Abu Ali'","description":"\u003cp\u003eZiad Rahbani is a cultural icon in Lebanon. The musician, pianist and producer is also a renowned playwright and a political activist, one of the most important exponent of the lebanese left-wing counterculture to emerge from the 70s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComing out of an illustrious artistic dynasty (his father is the famous composer and musician Assi Rahbani, member of group The Rahbani Brothers and his mother is the legendary Middle East Diva, Fairuz), Ziad Rahbani started his music career during his late teens, composing music for his mother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRahbani quickly spread his wings further. He started producing his own music during the early 70s and released records under his own name at 17. Among these was \"Abu Ali\" recorded in Greece at the EMI Studios in Athens in 1978 with a full orchestra (there he also recorded his mother's album \"Wahdon\") and released it as a limited run EP for the lebanese market. Legend has it that the album was only pressed at 500 unit hence its rarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a fabulous New York-meets-Beyrouth Disco exctasy developing over two 13-min tracks and one of the most collectible albums on the international dance and disco scene which Wewantsounds is happy to finally make available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
