If I remember correctly, Rogér Fakhr wasn’t interested in (re-)releasing his music to the public at first after being contacted by the Berlin label Habibi Funk. However, after the horrible explosion at the Beirut port, the label put together a compilation of Lebanese musicians to fund help. They contacted Rogér again, and he immediately replied, wanting to be part of the project. His perspective on releasing music had changed, so the album ‘Fine Anyway’ was released soon after. I first discovered Rogér Fakhr about two years ago on Spotify, and this album has stuck with me ever since. I always come back to it.
my fav song is probably The Wizard

An “eclectic” offshoot of Radio France. Elegant, mellow, will send you to sprinting to Shazam again and again.
Francophone stuff that rarely gets play in the US (French 80s pop star Etienne Daho— who sounds equally influenced by Lou Reed, Francoise Hardy and the Pet Shop Boys — is a favorite discovery), mixed with Sly and Robbie, Bill Evans, Moondog, some baroque chamber piece, Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou, De La Soul, and on and on and on

I was living in Ireland when i started this playlist, and ig Spotify has a region-lock typea thing going on where if yr EU it’ll serve you EU ish (idk, makes sense in my head).
At the time I was getting rec’d a bunch of French Pop and wanted to throw it all into a playlist to mark a little slice of time on this earth living outside of Philly. Not everything is foreign, but I’d say 90% of it is in French. I don’t speak or understand French, but I love this set of songs 🥖
