North African Recordings

Discography

While this site does not focus on the recordings of North Africa, I have included a (by no means complete!) discography here, including information accumulated in the course of the main research. Much of the raw information here comes from Michael Aylward, with big assists from Benno Häupl and Hugo Strötbaum, who are due all credit for this section. Thanks also to Eva Heinstein and Jean-Luc Allouche for help with the song titles.

The Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF) supposedly holds catalogs for the French company Pathé dating from 1910 to 1912 covering Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco (and artists from Algiers, Tangier, Marrakech, Fez and Tlemcen). The catalogs are said to include North African Jewish music (Gronow.) Since Pathé's concessionaires in Egypt and Sudan were a firm bearing the distinctly Sephardic name "Cicurrel Sons and their partners" (Racy, 1976) these catalogs and recordings may well have existed, though I was unable to find them during a research visit to the BNF in 1998. I have documented North African Jewish titles on Gramophone, Pathé and Polydor.

Gramophone

An office based in France directed the Gramophone company's activities in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia (Gronow.)
