Tropikal Camel
Awakening Spirits (pink Fluo)
Limited to 100 copies on pink fluo vinyl. Berlin based, Jerusalem pioneer Roi Assayag aka Tropikal Camel serves up his fantastic album 'Awakening Spirits' on Brussels based label Rebel Up Records, distilling 20 years of musical experience. The album title 'Awakening Spirits' is a wordplay: in Hebrew and Arabic, winds, spirits and ghosts are the same word - Ruaah. This title is polysemic: spirits are representing the mystic research that is eternal, winds are representing drama and conflict , ghosts are the voices from the past... the word awakening symbolizes the future. Expect to be whirled by psychedelic electronics, churning drums and Syrian sufi chanting, clattering Davul drums from Kurdistan and 'Berlin' made techno with a borderless Arab identity.
