Formerly a member of Bargou 08, Sofyann Ben Youssef’s latest incarnation finds him reworking music from across North Africa. Three singers: Mehdi Nassouli, Sofiane Saidi and Cheb Hassen Tej, backed by gimbri, flute and other instruments of the Maghreb region blend with rumbling basslines and electronic drones to create a compelling balance of ancient and modern. A Top of the World in #139.
