Old cricket fans will recall that Umpire David Shepherd had a ritual of jumping up nad down when the score of the batting side reached 111, known as a 'Nelson' - now Ostowana celebrate their release OST111, they've made sure you'll be jumping up and down to 'Mekkau'.
DJ & Producer Omary has teamed up with singer Amal Ben for a mesmerizing combination of Gnawa heritage songs with modern electronic and Afro House influences, it's got something of the raw Malian blues of Tinariwen mixed with 'best of' compilation, Ostowana Of Afro House Vol. 1 (see review HERE) at the same time as being a bit funky too!
Sticking with their strategy of releasing African and Middle Eastern culture at its best, 'Mekkaoui' "is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the fusion of traditional sound and modern vibes".
