Our Take

IFRIQIYYA ELECTRIQUE's latest album, Ruwahine, is a mesmerizing blend of traditional North African music, electrifying rock, and haunting spiritual chants. The Tunisian collective, known for their unique fusion of mystical trance and gritty punk energy, takes listeners on a wild ride through the deserts of the Sahara and the back alleys of Tunis.

From the moment the tribal drums kick in on the opening track, "Tawada," you know you're in for a wild and unpredictable journey. The band's fierce vocals, delivered in a mix of Arabic and French, transport you to another world where spirits roam free and music is a form of religious ecstasy.

Tracks like "Lila" and "Hezzi Ya Nawaem" showcase the group's ability to combine ancient ritualistic chants with modern electronic beats, creating a sound that is both primal and futuristic. The repetitive rhythms and hypnotic melodies will have you dancing one moment and meditating the next.

There is a raw energy to Ruwahine that is impossible to ignore. It's as if the band has tapped into some ancient, cosmic force and channelled it through their music. This is not an album for the faint-hearted, but for those willing to embrace the unknown and let their spirits soar.

Overall, Ruwahine is a bold and adventurous musical statement from IFRIQIYYA ELECTRIQUE. It's a psychedelic journey through the depths of trance and the heights of ecstasy, a sonic experience that will leave you breathless and wanting more. This is not just music, this is magic.

Their performances are not just concerts; they are spiritual experiences that transport you to another realm. Their debut album, "Rûwâhîne," received critical acclaim for its unique blend of ancient North African musical traditions and avant-garde electronica. Tracks like "Qaadrii" and "Madjam Mahdoum" will have you dancing one minute and meditating the next. Ifriqiyya Electrique is not just a band; they are a movement. Their live shows are legendary, with Cambuzat leading the charge like a mad maestro conducting a sacred ritual. If you ever have the chance to see them perform, do not miss it.
