Khalab & M’Berra Ensemble ★★★★ M’berra REAL WORLD. CD/DL/LP
Afro-futurism recorded in the M’berra refugee camp in Mauritania, captured by Italian producer Khalab, using traditional instruments, electric guitars and electronics. It’s an intense listen (start with Reste À L’Ombre and Moulan Shakur) with trance, deep house and hardcore electro, but the Africans – among them some fairly big names, including Disco of Tartit – hold their own against the onslaught.
