Review by Claire Poulton

Dahmane Elharrachi's album "Ya Nas Elhob Fnani Ghabou Ennoujoum" is a masterpiece of Algerian music. The album features 10 tracks, each showcasing the artist's incredible talent and passion for music.

The album opens with the title track "Ya Nas Elhob Fnani", which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy melody. Throughout the album, Elharrachi's soulful voice is accompanied by a variety of traditional Algerian instruments, including the mandolin, the oud, and the qanun.

One standout track is "Ya Rayah", a classic Algerian song that has been covered by many artists over the years. Elharrachi's version is particularly powerful, with his emotional delivery and the haunting melody of the oud.

Another highlight is "Kifech Rah", a slower ballad that showcases Elharrachi's range as a vocalist. The song is beautifully arranged, with the gentle strumming of the mandolin and the soft percussion creating a dreamy atmosphere.
