Review by esteban_morientes May 28, 2008
Ammi Mislayenne was a Kabyle traditional singer who moved to Paris to try his luck. He was driven by an Algerian manager who pushed him to make a "disco" album, a new trend at that time!

The bassist (from who I got this email from) was called one day by two Kabyle friends for this recording. Upon his arrival they were playing guitar and singing the backing vocals. "Yemma Yemma" was the main title and the song handles about the love of Ammi for this mother...

The recording found place in a studio near Paris, with an American drummer from the funk group "Ice".

The bassist still lives in Paris and is still playing electric bass, but mostly acoustic double bass, in jazz music and also with an artist from Cameroun called "Nya Soleil".
