Artist:Sarazino
Song:Cochabamba
Album:Ya Foy!
Lamine "Sarazino" Fellah was born in Algeria but he has lived all over the world. So it's not surprising that his music is a global melting pot. He was born Mar. 3, 1970 in Constantine, Algeria. His father was a career diplomat so his family lived in Spain, Switzerland and other countries. Fellah started showing an interest in music as a teen. After his father was assassinated by Algerian Islamic radicals, Fellah's family was forced into exile. After living in Ecuador, Fellah moved to Montreal to study economics and political science at the University of Montreal. That's when he got the idea for Sarazino. He has recorded three albums for the Vermont based world music label Cumbancha. Cochabamba is from the 2009 album Ya Foy!. Most of the musicians are from Ecuador like guitarist Pablo Estrella. The singer is Revelino Aguidissou who was born in Benin, Africa but lives in the Andes mountains. The big guest star on this album is Jamaican music legend Toots Hibbert of Toots and the Maytals. Other guests include Blanquito Man from the Latin music group King Chango and Klezmer musician Max Epstein. This album is available as a digital download. The latest Sarazino album was released in 2018. Fellah still plays live and he has been doing DJing on YouTube. Here's the video for Cochabamba by Sarazino.
