SPEED CARAVAN (Algeria / France)
It has been suggested that Mehdi Haddab is the Jimi Hendrix of the electric oud. Now working as Speed Caravan with bassist Pascal Teillet and former Ekova electronic beat mistress Hermione Frank, the Algerian-French trio create music that references The Cure and The Chemical Brothers alongside Algerian rai and other Arabic influences in a glorious collision of global sounds and styles.
