Review by Puhawang Putra

Thassousmi Thameghra is an album by the legendary Algerian band, Les Abranis. The album was released in 1977, and it is widely regarded as one of the band's best works. The album features a fusion of traditional Algerian music and rock, which was a unique and groundbreaking approach at the time.

The album opens with the track "Chenar Le Blues," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track features a catchy guitar riff, and the vocals are sung in both French and Kabyle, which is a Berber dialect from Algeria. The track "Avehri" is a standout track on the album, featuring a beautiful melody and a driving rhythm section.

One of the things that make this album stand out is the use of traditional Algerian instruments, such as the mandole and the bendir, which are used alongside electric guitars and drums. The album's sound is raw and unpolished, which adds to its charm and authenticity.
