Alright Mela (original ‘orrajt mela’): a Maltese expression that can be translated as All’s well’, sums up their Arab-European music and, like a mantra, expresses the hope of a better world. After leaving confinement, Markus and Cheb Xavi formed an electro oriental dub duo in 2021, inspired by the tape music of the 70s, with a real desire to escape. The group was quickly spotted and played all over France. On tour, the musicians often bumped into each other but rarely exchanged more than a few words. But between Jaouad El Garouge, a gnawa singer and guembri player from Morocco, and the Angevin duo, the meeting was a simple one, and the desire to share the stage even more natural.
With strong lyrics on contemporary themes (migration, war, discrimination, poverty in the big megalopolises, ecology, etc.), their music invites reflection but also trance.
