GHOULA - IWAYWA

"Ons" is the first single from Aïchoucha, Khalil Epi’s immersive audiovisual film documentary about Tunisian musical traditions.

Inspired by Ons, a young singer from northwestern Tunisia who is reinventing ancestral songs passed down from her grandmother, the track captures a silent beauty: contained sorrow, dignified strength, an inner song.

Blending raw electronic textures with echoes from the past, the track takes us on an intimate journey—at the border between the visible and the invisible.

Ons (Aïchoucha)

Vocals come from a very early recording of the "grand mother of Rai", exact year unknown (earlier than 1970s which a youtube clip claims)

Karzana Oyun Havasi (LeBlanc remix): a straightforward danceable beat remix by Rebel Up! member dj LeBlanc of an old, raw 78rpm recording. The original song is a traditional dance tune from Turkey, recorded around 1946(!) with Mahir on the double-reed shawm known as the zurna (an oriental double reed instrument, similar to the north african ghaita), accompanied by Ali the drummer on the double-headed davul drum. Plucked from the historical compilation Excavated Shellac: Reeds on the Dust-To-Digital label, more info: www.dust-digital.com/reeds/

Amira Saqati - Aboun Salehoun (Recycler Mix)

Born in Beijing and based in Berlin, Dj Zhao brings a poly-cultural understanding of polyrhythm to dance floors all over the world, and applies historical materialist analysis to the study of social music.  Not restricted by style and convention, Dj Zhao's deeply percussive sets span across genres and draws from wildly different times and places, connecting Africa, Asia, and South America, acoustic and electronic, traditional and hyper-modern.
