Bongo Joe Records announce the release of
Yalla Miku
's debut album. It is a new way of combining African, European, electronic, acoustic and electric music and cultures. The project was launched by
Cyril Cyril
duo, then joined by
Simone Aubert
and
Vincent Bertholet
from
Hyperculte
and three musicians with migrant backgrounds: the Moroccan
Anouar Baouna
, the Eritrean
Samuel Ades
, and the Algerian
Ali Bouchaki
. For its initiators, the idea was not to appropriate a non-European heritage and to interpret it in the company of musicians from these countries. They opted for a more radical approach: to propose a base of compositions on which the migrant musicians then worked with their instruments, which range from the derbouka to the guembri via the krar, the Eritrean lyre. The album, nourished by these stage performances, was recorded in autumn 2021. The result is full of vibrations, unusual sounds and life experiences. Sung in Arabic, Tigrigna, and French, the lyrics glide over throbbing rhythms, borrowing from gnawa, krautrock, and electro trance. Their eponymous debut album sounds like a call to travel beyond the barriers of sound, a call to a horizon without a visa.
