Al Sur — Maîtres du Guembri Vol. IV (Baldassarre liner notes, 1996)
Baldassarre, Antonio — liner-note translations; M’allem Sam & M’allem Hmidah (performance)
The Al Sur booklet prints French and English translations only; the Arabic original is not provided and needs maâlem confirmation. The Casablanca (Mersaoui) school's Tréq Beidaoui — the seven-station path centred on Bel Byad — frames this song in its suite cycle. See `bibliography.ts` entry `baldassarre-alsur-vol4`.
