I Nottuni – Mi Bigote

( Lebanon , 1970s , I Notturni Self-Released )

posted on 31 / 08 / 2025

Following this former article, I wanted to share with you for today “Mi Bigote“, a Latin Mambo Jazz gem from Lebanon with catchy horns & organ parts, very unusual one-of-its kind track sung in spanish (maybe the first from that country ?) taken from the one-and-only super hard to find EP by the Lebanese band “I Notturni”, recorded in the 70s (I think, any informations are welcomed…), leaded by the composer & musician Khaled Choughari, that used to play in several night clubs of Lebanon (it was the resident band of “Casino Du Liban” for some times), Iran & Egypt.

This band was composed with :

Khaled Choughari : Music, Band leading ;

Ermanno Riccordi : Lyrics ;

Conductor : Tony Akkawi ;

Super obscure & hard to find record, one of the hardest to find Lebanese treasures, hope you’ll like it !
