This duo, bringing together the Egyptian oud player Yasmine El Baramawy and the drummer Uriel Barthélémi, takes us into unconventional territories, playing with aesthetic codes and words. Mixing kitsch and subversive Arab and Western pop, abstract electronic soundscapes, dancing and hypnotic tracks, ironic performance, and abused tradition, they create a totally unclassifiable universe, at the same time absurd, funny, energetic, messy and precise.
