ABADIR & Nahash - Marchadair مرشدير
Berlin-based Egyptian producer ABADIR and French-Canadian Nahash come together on Marchadair مرشدير through SVBKVLT with a record that has its concepts deeply rooted in Arab food culture and musical nods to times of yore. Tracks like "Cabbout كبّوت" draw inspiration from Iraqi weddings through the percussive Kasoor كاسور, while "Alaga ألاجة" stitches in Rashed Al-Majed's Mashkalni into a subtle, stylish, fast-paced rhythm. These tracks feel like a sonic resurrection of memories, reviving sounds deeply tied to Middle Eastern culture. The album’s atmosphere is accompanied by remixes from Jordan’s Toumba and London’s Ehua, adding global textures to its core Arab essence. For listeners seeking a blend of experimental club and sentimental ties to Arab pop classics, Marchadair مرشدير hits an emotional and cultural sweet spot.
