Blending Middle Eastern and North African instrumentation and vocals with Western electronic music has proved to be thoroughly fertile creative ground in recent years, with Omar Souleyman and Deena Abdelwahed two of the artists to get the most out of what would once have seemed a deeply unlikely juxtaposition. Sitting comfortably alongside those highly respected names are Guido Minisky and Hervé Carvalho, aka Parisian duo Acid Arab. Minisky and Carvalho have built their sound methodically and from the ground up, starting out by running a party of the same name more than a decade ago, then releasing two Acid Arab compilations.

In 2016 they released their first album of original Acid Arab material and two more have followed since, all three of them intoxicating cauldrons of sound packed with fantastic guest musicians and vocalists. Expect the very same from this live show.
