Release Notes:
AIWA is a collective founded in 1998 by Wamid and
Naufalle, two Iraqi brothers brought up in France. They
began mixing their musical practice (bass for Wamid and
percussions and Arabic rap for his brother) to their
growing interest for electronical music they were
producing. They're trying to make the classical Arabic
music heard from their parent's records (Om Kalsoum, Abdel
Halim Hafez, Fairuz...) meeting with the western music.
They've been joined by Severine (female singer and also
composer), Phil (drums) and Gaδl (saxophones, flutes and
keyboards). Their meeting in 2002 with the Canadian label
WIKKID RECORDS is a milestone for the band with the
release of their first album in 2003, licensed worldwide :
(Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Spain,
Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Egypt, United
Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan,
Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Algeria...) A∩wa has been touring a
lot in France but also in the UK, Switzerland, Morocco,
Spain, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Germany, Poland...
ELNAR the new full-length release from A∩wa, The French
Kings of Oriental breakbeat offers a fantastic body of
work, sucessfully blending Middle Eastern instruments,
vocals and sounds with Hiphop and breaks delicately
spliced with cutting edge technology. The album features
New Yorks finest : Mc Jamalski (Boogie Down Productions),
Says (X Makeena) and Anissa Derkaoui (Algerian singer).
