Description


Døre kl 20 / Koncert kl. 21

Lyriske temaer, dybe arabiske traditioner og moderne klang forenes hos den egyptisk-palæstinensiske trio Lekhfa. Efter stærk koncert på Roskilde Festival sidste år, indtager Maryam Saleh, Maurice Louca og Tamer Abu Ghazaleh nu ALICE. Koncerten præsenteres i samarbejde med Cinematekets festival Arabian Nights, der skydes i gang samme dag.

“Remarkable Egyptian indie collaboration is a triumph" skrev The Guardian i en 5-stjernet anmeldelse af Lekhfas debutalbum fra 2017. Og i det hele taget har det ikke skortet på roser til det egyptiske projekt, der udgøres af musikerne Maryam Saleh, Maurice Louca og Tamer Abu Ghazaleh. Selv omtaler de dog Mido Zoheir som et fjerde medlem. De poetiske sange bygger nemlig på denne fremtrædende egyptiske digters apokalyptiske visioner.

Og netop det poetiske udtryk synes at være en gennemgående tråd hos Lekhfa. Det kommer til udtryk i en række intense og atmosfæriske sange, som bygger bro mellem smukke og roots-klingende melodier, traditionelle arabiske instrumenter og moderne lydeksperimenter.

Hver især har de tre musikere markeret sig stærkt på Egyptens alternative scene. Maryam Saleh er i Egypten kendt for både sin sjælfulde stemme og for sit arbejde som skuespiller. Nok så vigtigt har hun markeret sig som en både personlig og politisk sangskriver og som en glødende fortolker af Sheikh Imams protestsange. Palæstinensiske Tamer Abu Ghazaleh har en markant solo-karriere som sangskriver, ligesom han er en fremsynet producer og alsidig multiinstrumentalist. Som solist har man tidligere kunnet høre ham på Global.

Sidst men ikke mindst finder vi Maurice Louca - én af sin generations mest interessante egyptiske musikere, der trækker på både jazz, electronica og arabisk musik. I København har man bl.a. kunnet opleve ham med The Dwarfs of East Agouza og på Alice med hans nye band Elephantine, som også gæster årets Roskilde Festival. Og på netop Roskilde Festival gav Lekhfa sidste år en fremragende koncert. Glæd dig til at opleve dem i intime rammer på Alice, hvor trioen ledsages af fuldt band.

In English:

Lekhfa is the creation of Maryam Saleh, Maurice Louca and Tamer Abu Ghazaleh, three musicians who came of age in 1990s Cairo. Having each blazed their different paths through the alternative Arabic music scene with solo albums and acclaimed collaborations, the three musicians formed Lekhfa and released their first album in 2017, to international acclaim. “Remarkable Egyptian indie collaboration is a triumph" wrote The Guardian about the mesmerizing hybrid of soulful vocals, poetic lyrics, Arab roots and contemporary sounds. In 2018 the trio - whose lyrical fourth member is renowned Egyptian poet Mido Zoheir - played a brilliant concert at Roskilde Festival. In October they can be heard in the intimate surroundings of Alice with a full band line-up.
