Have a listen to ‘Baka of the Future’ from the debut album for The Dwarfs of East Agouza
The Dwarfs of East Agouza is a trio from Cairo, Egypt, featuring MAURICE LOUCA (Alif, Bikya), SAM SHALABI (Land of Kush, Shalabi Effect) and ALAN BISHOP (Sun City Girls, The Invisible Hands, Alvarius B.).
Born during 2012 when the three were living in the same apartment building in Cairo’s Agouza district, the trio’s instrumental improvisation-based explorations are propelled by Louca’s North African percussion loops and shimmering keys, Shalabi’s West African tinged free jazz guitar and grounded by Bishop’s driving Krautrock-style acoustic bass.
Named after the Ancient Egyptian dwarf deity who was worshiped as the defender of all things good and enemy of all that is bad, Bes captures the trio on a hypnotic yet unpredictable journey. From the the lilt of four-minute Ethiopian tinged Resinance to the 30-minute free-form epic Museum of Stranglers, the album skirts the outer limits of a psychedelic soundtrack to a North African road trip.
THE DWARFS OF EAST AGOUZA – Bes (Nawa Recordings) is due out on April 29
