about

With this second album, Ghoula sticks to his favorite weapon: a refined approach of sampling that pays an infinite tribute to North Africans musical legacies. As a multi-faceted artist holding a very diversified musical background, he sails throughout electro-pop, techno, breakbeat and IDM, while always paying a special attention to the arrangement of the lyrics he samples from his personal vintage vinyls collection.

His signature sound can be recognized from the very first seconds: a subtle harmony of crackling voices speaking dialects from all around the Maghreb, augmented with folk guitar, electric bass, groovy percussions typical from the Mediterranean basin, shaken up with Acid House and Jungle electronic productions.

Whether or not we speak the same language, the experiences and emotions we share bring us together. They are the very substance of Ghoula’s music. He touches us beyond his cultural background, and gifts us with the singularities of his mosaic musical personality, eventually walking us towards the path to union, celebrating what makes us all different!

I can't speak to the lyrics, but I really like this manifestation of electronic lounge music and North African drums and vocals. It's good late night chill music, not downtempo but energetic in a laid back way musically. Gaelan D'costa
