What you are kids doing for #SoutelphanSaturday? We're listening a mind-blowing duet by Mohamed Taha and Sherifa Fadel (Fallah, 1964, Soutelphan) from the label's fifth year in business. Hear the track at ahmedadaweya.blogspot.com/2024/05/shaa...

My favorite Mohamed Abdel Wahab song = Cleopatra. I've had damaged versions on CD & 10" vinyl but this LP version is the first genuinely listenable one I've owned. 1973 Soutelphan with a sticker from the mighty Rashid Sales Co. on the back. Tears streaming down it's so beautiful

Get a loada THIS hunka hunka burnin love! No, that's not Elvis in the South Pacific it's Mohamed Rushdy on Soutelphan (#SoutelphanSaturday). This slow-burn was released in the label's 9th year & it's one of our faves (Mita Ashoufak, 1968).

Hey Kids! Adults! Collectors! #SoutelphanSaturday is almost over; show us your Soutelphans! We'll start: Here's one from the label's 11th year by our favorite still-living Egyptian singer Nagat al-Saghira (Fi Muntasaf Altariq, Soutelphan, 1970). Peak silkscreen era cover

The sun's setting but #SoutelphanSaturday is still going strong! Here's a terrific 10" release from the label's 7th year: Abdel Halim Hafez, Soura ... Soura (Soutelphan, 1966)

🔥OUT 31 JAN 2025 🔥
AMMAR EL SHEREI
MUSIC FROM THE EAST (1976)

Highly sought-after Arabic cult classic by Omar El Shariyi (aka Ammarelsherei), released in 1976 on Soutelphan and reissued for the first time with liner notes by Mario Choueiry from IMA

SOUND ON: You know who Sherifa Fadel is singing about on this #SoutelphanSaturday banger from the label's 10th year? Me. Yes, ME! Sharifa Fadel, Gary (Soutelphan, 1969)

Post 2 for #SoutelphanSaturday from the label's Year 2: Fairuz | Rahbani Brothers: Fayiq 'Aw Ansaa b/w 'Arjuk Ya Oumi (Soutelphan, 1961). Mohamed Abdel Wahab published Mohammed Salman to secure Nahah Salam but I wonder if this is a direct face-slap to Oum (who he never published)

It's Soutelphan Saturday! First up, a release from the label's Year 1: Mohammed Salman, Bye Bye b/w Six o'Clock (Soutelphan, 1960). Born in southern Lebanon, Salman moved to Cairo, where, w/wife Najah Salam, he founded Samar Film. Side A = pure novelty, Side B = orchestral folk

Finally scored Volume 1, completing the set! Laila Morad Volumes 1, 2 and 3 (Soutelphan, 1975). One of the greatest Egyptian voices of all time. Is it coincidental that Oum had passed just months before these were released, or had Wahab & Hafez been sitting on them, waiting ... ?

So this is totally where That Gorillaz sample came from, right?

Next up on #SoutelphanSaturday from the label's Year Four: Abdel Halim Hafez, El-Gazair (Soutelphan, 1963). Massive sweeping orchestration by Baligh Hamdi, lyrics by Egyptian poet Kamal Mansour. Does the woman in white represent Algeria, which had gained independence in 1962?

Abdel Halim Hafez 7” singles from Soutelphan Records, 1960’s.
