Kaf Afrit, by Praed

Kaf Afrit

by Praed

supported by

Marco Baroni The best Praed album yet, enthralling psychedelic grooves that reward deep listening.

Cosmographer Every record these masters put out is a masterpiece, and they keep getting better. Each track sets up an undeniable groove that sucks you in and, before you know it, you are inhabiting this deep sound world and forgetting about time itself. Utterly absorbing music.

This is a top release of 2023, highest replay value. Get it. Favorite track: The Spell.

about

Swiss/Lebanese experimental duo Praed (Raed Yassin & Paed Conca) is back with a new blast! A band whose musical oeuvre can be described as a mixture of Arabic popular music, free jazz, and electronics.

Following Doomsday Survival Kit previously released in 2019 (Akuphone, AKU1011), Kaf Afrit keeps the listener in suspense by imposing its cataclysmic universe. An album inspired by Shams al-Ma'arif, a 13th century esoteric and magic book from Egypt composed of four furious pieces that don't leave you unscathed. The fantastic artwork is once again made by Raphaelle Macaron.

The CD version includes an extra track.
