From the cultural melting pot that is France, unique in its sum (right from the north, south and east of the Mediterranean), Paris has always been scathing in the incarnation of a cross-border music, totally nourished by its neighborhoods and inhabitants from every corner of the world. From a voracious hip hop scene to the Middle East sounds that hit the streets from a kitchen window, here comes a new incarnation of both music and people: a very global one that Guido Minisky and Hervé Carvalho take part of.
They are Acid Arab. A duo that is far from claiming to be the reinvention of an eastern scene, or establishing the redefinition of electronic music to the west, per se. Acid Arab is a duo that one can say to be a genuine cultural product of today. Two DJs, for long residents at Chez Moune, who surrendered to a music that paved its way to us with an ancient baggage that they are predisposed to continue and be part of, generating legacy and echo throughout. And being part of it implies only the crossover of many kinds of Middle Eastern music and codes (either from North Africa, Lebanon, Egypt or Tunisia) with synthesized and analog machineries that techno offers and acid house imposes. Not to recreate anything, but to make it grow, often with the presence of Kenzi Bourras achieving fullness as a trio, makeing us reach out trance by dancing.
The fascination with the complex rhythmic compositions raises a deeper study of Oriental music, that Acid Arab pulls in he freshest and purest way. We already danced to them by the voice of Omar Souleyman, and we are already banging our heads to the new release La Hafla ( "The Party") featuring the algerian singer Sofiane Saidi. And it's full party that is promised to us in their next concert.
