German cover artist NEO (Wolfgang Liebert) with an ad hoc live performance of Algerian-Arabic smash hit Ya Rayah (Oh Immigrant).
Shot by Karin Kolenbrander during a public jam session at Williams Brasserie, glider airfield Bad Nauheim on October 10, 2017.
The playback is a 101 BPM dance version preserving the original characteristics while adding some modern elements, e.g. the fabulous Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis signature sound before the break at 4:38.
The latin text was meticulously transcribed from arabic by NEO (s. complete lyrics in the comment section).
The original sound is still audible but was overdubbed with a high quality studio recording to enhance the listening experience.

Feel free to eat some Cous-Cous after watching this video :-)
