al doum 7 the faryds: freaky people

Al Doum and the Faryds continue their journey toward a new direction. Now, they live in a futuristic garden of delights, inhabited by strange bright bubbles, golden wheels, water secrets and mysterious plants. From their home of love and nature, they set out to travel the universe to forge a new being together. Their typical blend of spiritual-jazz, psychedelia and Afro-Latin rock remains on the same wave, accentuating the collective rite of liberation and expansion of the spirit. There's certainly a greater lightness and airiness, especially in the most immediate and direct arrangements to convey the message of brotherhood; because the absolute weapon lies in female voices and choirs. These chants are incisive gospel and soul sermons and their narration magically permeates throughout the album. Everything is always supported by the balance between robust and biting guitar riffs, raga-rock incursions, tribal rhythm sections and impregnable and captivating sax drifts; and echoes of the soft lysergic sound of the '60s cannot be missing. This is music of multiple forces, a sacred harmony to overcome barriers, which sees no enemies and breaks down egos. It's the playfulness and the power in making music together, the true magic recipe of these Freaky People: we are what the universe wants!
