PLANET EARS: Al-Qasar

In the organizer's words:

As part of PLANET EARS - rethink international music

When continents collide, the result is a thunderous sound. Arabian Fuzz - a vision that is unashamedly electric and deeply connected to its roots.

Al-Qasar was founded in the Barbès district of Paris by producer Thomas Attar Bellier. The musicians came together from France, Lebanon, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt and the United States.

On their first album, Who Are We?, bass, drums and percussion create an irresistible groove, while electric saz and guitars build a plaintive wall above, with ecstatic Arabic vocals inspired by history as they stride into the future. Like a psychedelic party on the dance floor, it brims with the kind of deep energy that makes Al-Qasar sound like the world's most dangerous wedding band.
