Favoriting October 30, 2024: The Sidi Mansourgency
How did a timeless Tunisian Sufi folk song become a smash European disco banger, a Czech song praising spacesuit usage by Smurf astronauts, and covers by dozens of pop and avant-garde musicians worldwide? Special guest Tim (Moroccan Tape Stash) Abdellah takes us down one of Arabic music’s deepest, most bizarrely satisfying rabbit holes

i love this song! and have been *obsessed* too, ever since i first heard it -- early/mid-2000s, i think at a hafla?

used to practice dance with my little cat Lefty to this song -- sometimes she seemed to enjoy it? other times she was like, "ok, I will put up with this goofy human" haha!

and omg is that Boney M. in the collage?!?

Sidi Mansour is a saint/holy man named Mansour. "Sidi" means literally, my Lord or Sir. can be used to address any male you respect, but is idiomatically used to refer to saints

admittedly late to the party with Boney M., the first time i heard them was on Scott Muni's "Things from England" show, Friday afternoons on WNEW-FM -- their version of "Rivers of Babylon" was #1 for many weeks in 1978

DJ Stashu did an incredible version of "Rasputin" for the WFMU marathon finale some years ago

and, i would love to see SM Ken do this for the finale -- with the same costuming, choreography, etc. :

This was a really cool show, thanks! Definitely the spirit of the hellraiser, as in putting on really good shows to entice donations
