ANOUAR BRAHEM - LIST OF ISSUED RECORDS
compiled by Johann Haidenbauer

This list provides a comprehensive overview of Anour Brahem's work. It contains records released under his own name as well as his sessions and productions. The list is in chronological order where the year refers, in general, to the recording date. All items are in LP format unless stated otherwise. CD re-issues are preceeded by an '*'. In those cases where the catalog numbers of LP and CD issue are essentially the same it is not repeated after the *. Releases from 1988 onwards are all available as CDs and therefore, in general, no special indication is made. Note also that essentially all ECM releases are available on CD and therefore no special indication is made in the list below.

Anouar Brahem reportedly released at least one self-produced cassette in Tunisia in the 1980ies. Furthermore, he might be involved as composer but possibly also as performer in albums by Nabiha Karaouli, Sonia M'Barek, and Saber Rebai among others. I would welcome any further informations on those recordings.

Note that compilations of otherwise available material and repackages are, in general, not included in this list.
