Belgian oriental grooves, for fans of Altın Gün
Gaïsha is the latest act on Zephyrus Records. It’s a newly formed collaboration between Belgian-Moroccan singer Aicha Haskal and Les Cerveaux Lents bringing you oriental & psychedelic grooves with a Brussels twist. The band switches seamlessly between Arabic chants, parlando, and even rap, bringing you an interesting melting pot of styles, quoi.
Their latest single (released on 7 inch by Zephyrus Records) is called ‘Ghalat’ and was written by the Egyptian poet Abdelhamid Farag, who calls himself a ‘poète de l’éloignement’. His lyrics are permeated with deep melancholy and romance. The single is a tribute to Abdelhamid, who passed away in 2020.
