Waaju & Majid Bekkas – Barma Soussandi
‘Barma Soussandi’ is the lead single from Waaju & Majid Bekkas’s collaborative live album ‘Alouane’. The lyrics of this Moroccan Gnawa song speak of a gathering and community of Bambara people. But even for audiences unfamiliar with the language and context the message is evident. As the press release states, "appropriately, this live reimagining was recorded at London’s Church of Sound, with the band mirroring each other’s energy in the round surrounded by a bustling sell-out crowd filling every corner."
The heavy pulsating rhythm of the composition creates a perfect setting for the conversation between the inspired vocals from Majid Bekkas, bass, guitar and saxophone.

Blimp – Promised
The track is notable for the way it brings together dry, crisp drums and layers of atmospheric reverberated synth textures and angelic ethereal vocal samples, creating a truly multidimensional soundscape.
