Maniacs vs. Sharkiat

A task that defies easy categorization, Maniacs vs. Sharkiat is usually a collaboration between your Geneva-based Maniacs as well as the Egyptian group Sharkiat. Their Don’t Climb the Pyramids recording premiered in Switzerland via Baraka Un Farnatshi, a business mentioned for cross-cultural collisions of digital Traditional western pop and traditional North African music, specifically in its produces by Aisha Kandisha’s Jarring Results. The record matched up the rockish acoustic guitar, bass and drums from the Maniacs using the Arabic pop of Sharkiat, whose devices are the tabla, ney, djembe, and timbales. With a lot of the vocals sung in British from the Maniacs’ Alain Croubalian, it’s a reasonably comfortable mixture of Traditional western ’90s alternative rock and roll as well as the Egyptian noises of Sharkiat, although much less innovative and effective as the 1st recording by Aisha Kandisha’s Jarring Results.
