Description

THE CONFRONTATION OF ECSTATIC SUFI QAWALI AND PSYCHEDELIC ELECTRO. - ELECTRO WORLD, INDIAN HOUSE-Markus & Shahzad Santoo Khan is a collaboration between three musicians from Angers and a Pakistani singer, blending oud, electronic music, and Qawali singing. Aboard a French Touch carriage of the Orient Express, Markus and Shahzad Santoo Khan offer a musical update of the oud and electronic music, providing a flavorful, unexpected, and chimeric blend. Their music takes us on a journey to discover a synthetic and decidedly modern Orient. Both sensual and cyber-poetic, the supercharged groove of the drums and psychedelic keyboards propel Markus's oud to meet the enchanting harmonic landscape of Shahzad Santoo Khan. "The confrontation of ecstatic Sufi qawali and psychedelic electro is not new, but the three musicians from Angers and the Pakistani singer add an oud, Arab maqams, and just the right amount of fantasy to bring freshness, somewhere between dub and thrilling pop." --- TÉLÉRAMA ---
