Ganimian & His Orientals - Come With Me To The Casbah (LP, RE) (M / M)

Media Condition: Mint (M)
Sleeve Condition: Mint (M)

New copy, sealed

repressing of this long sought-after New York Armenian rock 'n' roll fusion LP inc. dancefloor bombs "Come With Me To The Casbah", "Daddy Lolo" and "Halvah"

A meeting of minds from Armenian, Turkish and other Asia Minor expatriates in 1950s New York. A heady fusion of traditional Eastern Med sounds with American jazz, r’n’b, and rock ’n’ roll. “Come With Me To The Casbah” has since become a must-have track for those seeking a taste of mid-century strip-joint exoticism, but the album sports many under-appreciated tunes including the mouth-watering raqs baladi “Halvah” and a haunting oud version of “My Funny Valentine”.- Danny, Dig Vinyl
