about

Issued on Kiko Navarro’s Afroterraneo imprint, Beatkozina present Eastern-influenced Deep/Afro House single ‘Nusrat Passion’, featuring the breathtaking voice of Abirah Shah and a remix by Navarro himself.

Comprising Mehdi Naami and Gregory Jouandon, the electronic / world music Beatkozina duo reside in Marrakech and London respectively. Both multi-instrumentalists, the pair met when jazz drummer Jouandon travelled to Morocco on a quest for North African rhythms, soon connecting with Naami, resident DJ at the Buddha Bar in Marrakech.

Placing traditional African, Arabic and Indian aesthetics alongside contemporary Deep House vibes, ‘Nusrat Passion’ is a flawless production brimming with spiritual flavour, topped off with a truly show-stopping performance from UK/Pakistani artist Abirah Shah.

Kiko Navarro’s rework infuses ‘Nusrat Passion’ with added drama and intensity, opening with meditative tanpura and tabla before taking flight into arpeggiated atmospheres, with subtle strings and filtered synths playing hide and seek with the song’s acrobatic vocal.

Titled in tribute to the great Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, internationally renowned performer of Qawwali (spiritual music of the Sufis), ‘Nusrat Passion’ invites an intriguing mix of musical cultures to dance together. We hope you feel moved to join them.
