Rana

Håla Duett (pronounced "hhola duet") is a duet composed of drummer Yann Joussein (co-founder of the Coax Collective in Paris) and guitarist Sheik Anorak (founder of Gaffer Records in Lyon). The two musicians combined their efforts to explore the minimal and repetitive aspects of krautrock and the traditional rhythms of African music, for a dreamlike and mesmerizing result. Between Tuareg blues and repetitive rock, this unique encounter takes us into a no-man's land between Dusseldörf and Ouagadougou, inspired as much by repetitive minimalist music as by traditional African singing dances. Humbled in Hausa (West African language), Håla Duett's compositions talk about simple but constitutive subjects such as music as a unifying element, or equality between men and women. Composed between Sweden (Göteberg) and France (Paris), EP "Rana" was recorded in Gnesta in the east of Stockholm during the Scandinavian tour of 2018.
