Ferkat Al Ard - Oghneya AEC Video and other pretty girlsAn absolutely legendary album from Lebanon by Issam Hajali's group Ferkat Al Ard, "Oghneya" stands out as one of the great musical gems of the Arab world. A groundbreaking release from 1978 that represents the meeting point of Arab, jazz, folk and Brazilian styles with the talent of Ziad Rahbani, who did the albums arrangements. Filled with a variety of sounds and genres, from Baroque Pop to Psych Folk to flashes of Bossa Nova, Tropicalia and MPB,
