The electronic music of French duo Leïla Jiqqir and Romain Henry – aka TAXI KEBAB – reveals Krautrock, psychedelic, and techno influences, all while haunted by the spectre of Leïla’s North African roots. Reappropriating her Moroccan father’s Darija language, her voice interacts with Romain Henry’s acidic arpeggios and undulating experimental machine-driven pads through a liberating poetic register. On their first EP, Visions al 2ard ('Visions of the Earth'), synthesizers, drum machines, modulated guitars, and an amplified bouzouq collide. TAXI KEBAB embarks on a nocturnal journey through the Moroccan countryside, unveiling their self-proclaimed 'disoriental psyche' sound.
