Bab L’Bluz are a French-Moroccan four-piece that play a tasty blend of fiery psychedelic rock backed up with hypnotic North African gnawa rhythms. Featuring electric awisha lute, guembri, percussion and castanet-like qraqeb rather than more mainstream instruments, they tackle subjects like gender inequality and call for unity and tolerance – while getting hips swinging and feet stomping in a frenzied groove.
Swaken is Bab L’Bluz’s second album and features Yousra Mansour’s emotive vocals and riff-heavy awisha lute backed by a giddy trance-rock sound that owes as much to Led Zeppelin’s heavy blues rock as to the indigenous tunes of the Sahara Desert and the southern shore of the Mediterranean. This is energetic stuff that doesn’t so much invite listeners to get up and get with it but clearly doesn’t expect any other reaction. Yet, Mansour’s lyrics also have plenty to say about subjects such as the frustrations of living in a patriarchal society, of the necessity of standing up to those who cause suffering to others and for the need to celebrate the richness of living in an ethnically diverse society.
