Najma
1990: Shanachie 64026
A boisterous little set from Najma to follow the mostly poised Qareeb. The closing track’s a little too sweet for my tastes, but the title track makes me swivel parts of my body I didn’t know were swivelous and “Nikala” is just bubbly as hell as she giggles proudly about her dark boyfriend. A charming record.
