Lili Boniche – Boniche Dub
Lili Boniche
Boniche Dub
Label: APC
Catalog Number: A.P.C.009
Released: 1998
Dub master Bill Laswell meets the pan-Andalusian-Arab guitar musician/singer Lili Boniche. The story goes that Boniche was nearly retired after a successful career performing throughout France in the 1940s before Laswell discovered him at a Paris café at age 78. Released on French fashion label APC, Boniche Dub would amazingly launch a second career for the Algerian artist. Much like his classic Dreams Of Freedom (Ambient Translations Of Bob Marley In Dub), Laswell pulls out the almost completely leaving the Darbuka percussion, drums, guitar, and mandolin swirling in and out around his trancelike bass grooves. Ambient synthscapes are also lightly sprinkled in adding an extra layer of psychedelia and otherworldliness to the already unique confluence of musical genres.
