Deena Abdelwahed - Dhakar (2020) [Hi-Res]

Review:
Mean fusions of Tunisian instrumentation with electronic club music from Deena Abdelwahed, following up 2018’s ‘Khonnar’ album.

Working somewhere between the Nervous Horizon label, Muslimgauze, and the street-level Mahraganat styles of North Africa, Deena jumps back on a rudely rhythm-driven sound taking in the the melodramatic opener ‘Lila Fi Tounes’, the slow psychedelic slosh of and crack of ‘Ah’na Hakkeka’ and ‘Insaniyti’, plus the pendulous, grimy syncopation of ‘Zardet Sidi Bagra’.

Tracklist:
01. Deena Abdelwahed - Lila Fi Tounes (5:29)
02. Deena Abdelwahed - Ah'na Hakkeka (5:41)
03. Deena Abdelwahed - Insaniyti (4:34)
04. Deena Abdelwahed - Zardet Sidi Bagra (3:43)
