Mi3raj
London, 03.03.20
Mi3raj is a project from Cairo where modernist Arabic poetry intertwines with jungles of menacing chanting and mutilated eastern instrumentation. The songs draw from the deafening nature of the eternally awake capital of Egypt to narrate an infernal world of paranoia, which while thriving to achieve otherworldliness, is still contemporary and close to home. A curb stomped third world with its lungs barely intact enough to sigh melodically
