THE EXCITING TRANSE MUSIC FROM THE ELECTRO-ROCK OF THE SAHARA DESERT
What is Temenik Electric?
Is it Electrognawa transes blending into an electrifying rock sound ?
Is it the constantly evolving sound of music with no frontiers, no visas and no set identity?
Is it pop-music infused with Arabian sounds, but where the saturated sound of guitar, the seductive sound of oud & the devastating sound of sampling explode into a display of fireworks?
Is it catchy melodies with hypnotic rhythms and a spirited tempo?
It is all this and more.
A call to the open sea as well as a call to the dancefloor.
TEMENIK ELECTRIC is like a lighthouse on the Mediterranean shores which scans the horizon, seeking Eastern music which has lost its way, North African music which reaches back into the distant past & Western rock music with its one thousand and one digital inflexions ; a blend of musical sounds which stems from many different roots but shares a common ground. It is music in motion; difficult to define, but which is resoundingly self-evident.
So: What is it ? Ouesh Hada ? in Arabic...
It is all that and much much more.
