How many tapes did Hasni make?

They could number in the hundreds, one producer currently working with Houari Dauphin says that he wrote 300 . Hasni wrote some of his songs, but many were written by various people still living in Oran today. A tape could come out weekly and at that time, Hasni could go into a studio and put down 8, 9 or 10 tracks. Each recording could be made by a different producer or writer... there are so many labels in Oran. At the time Hasni was recording, it could be EDITION SANTANA or a various number of other labels. Rachid Baba Ahmed was a producer of Rai but many people had a hand in Hasni's music. There was not just one person who wrote Hasni's songs, there were many and each contributed to the varying styles of the resulting songs. A studio could be the front room of a house in Centraville with a makeshift glass cabinet or as elaborate as a well stocked studio with a wealthy Orani backing it. Each song has a story and Oranis can often tell you the story behind each song
