Habiba Oversized Tee

Habiba Messika recorded extensively as a Tunisian vocalist and actress during the 1920s. She represented cultural modernity across South West Asia and North Africa. Her work integrated classical song with theatrical performance. This Baidaphon label identifies her rendition of "Anti Souria Biladi"; the title translates to "You, Syria, are my country." The track functioned as a patriotic anthem during the period of French mandatory rule. The Baida family founded the Baidaphon company in 1906 to distribute regional music. They utilized the gazelle as the primary trademark. The company managed recording studios in Cairo, Beirut, and Berlin. This disc includes a red dealer sticker from Detroit. It records the global circulation of regional media through diaspora networks in the United States.
