Khamsa Khala - Auliya Music Video in HD
July 10th, 2010
Khamsa Khala sifts authentic instruments from North Africa through an industrial music influence creating a fractured take on world music. Their new release, “All Rites Reversed,” is a CD and DVD release on Lens Records - www.lensrecords.com Auliya features guest vocals by Ariana Saraha, Oud by Seva Bears, and drums by Dawn Storm. Neville Harson was a founding member of Mandible Chatter. Don Poe was the noisiest member of Deathpile. Using an experimental approach, they evoke ethnic music that draws from the noisy primitivism of Throbbing Gristle as well as the streets of Morocco. All Rites Reversed is presented as a CD and DVD package containing a full length CD, plus several music videos shot in Morocco in High Definition with alternate versions of the songs. The first CD is the Moroccan-inspired CD “All Rites Reversed.” Between trips to Egypt and Morocco, Don learned to read and write Arabic. Location recordings, camping in the Sahara, a visit to the public baths or Hammam, staying with families there, and of course a visit with a snake charmer after being painted with Henna inspired the background of this music. Don brought back 20 instruments from these trips to North Africa. Neville is very jealous of this journey!
