The Listener Series - Zoumer

A soundscape mix from the upcoming album 'e.a.l. (euro arab lovergirl)'. a diaspora girl travels back in time to Disco Magreb in Oran, Algeria. After listening to Raï classics on dusty cassette tapes, she walks into jardin d'essai du hamma in Algiers. She gets lost in the garden's many paths, tries to call a best friend, but with no signal. Instead she listens to echoes of time, conversations and birds in the trees. Flying back to Europe over the Djurdjura mountains, she drifts off, surrounded by the airy vocals of Djurdjura on her silver-green iPod.
