NOUR

DOSSIER November 2006
by el-nour.com

Nour is light in Arabic. But Nour could also be different languages and a sweet season in which the grass grows without decorations, a slight breeze, an air with flowers and scent of cilantro.

Nour is also a music group that was born at the end of 2005 in Barcelona and that without an official disk has taken its live to this city and others of Catalunya, through Victoria Gasteiz (Pais Basque) and Berlin (Germany). Their music has also played in the Festival Cruïlles de Cultures in Mataró in which they were support band of the biggest ones of the Algerian music, Idir and Cheb Khaled.

Yacine, Berber-Catalan of Barcelona and former-singer of Cheb Balowski, begins this project accompanied by Mass Kobayashi, a Japanese settled down in Seattle and bass player of the group Kultur Shock. They both meet again in October 2005 to record some songs without knowing what it will turn out. The result is a four songs single where the Rubio’s guitar, ex Color Humano, collaborates and where Arecio Smith, ex pianist of the Kinky Beat also participates and Dídac, drums. Starting from here the first concerts come up debuting in Manresa. In a short period the music of Nour evolves toward lands that are new for Yacine, like electronic music. The new sounds they mix with the traditional maghrebies and oriental rhythms which develop in versions like the Kunti Fain’s one of Abdel Halim Hafez, Egyptian singer of the sixties. Referring to this direction change Pau Guillamet has a lot to say, he’s Guillamino, in charge of the electronic bases, samplers and voices.

Yacine, Pau and Rubio constitute Nour at the moment. A small formation which impresses for their energetic lives. The electric sonority of Rubio’s guitar fits with the powerful presence on the stage of Yacine while Pau gives intensity to the rhythm with its machines. It is this way as Nour invites to take a new trip toward a warm music, with dense bases and groove, funk and melodies that orientalize the western music...
A new vision of the mediterranean crossroad.
