Their first album Lamentation Walloo is a message of peace and multiculturalism. It has been a great public and critic success in Europe, especially in France, Türkiye, Italy and of course in Middle East.
First, imagine voices that combine Julio Iglesias drinking straight tequilas and Joe Strummer high on harissa (hot spicy red peppers jam). Then, imagine a Mediterranean kinda Jimmy Page torturing his electric guitar like if it was a Greek bouzouki or Lebanese Buzuq shooting blasting “Falaf’ hell bullets” !!!
Idiot Bravo, the second stone thrown like a spinning Pita towards their upcoming triptyque musical sculpture. The sound becomes mystical, vaporous.. a wave to cause waves.
BOOGIE BALAGAN is one of the most striking formations in the world of the international “Rock’n World” alternative scene, since, non content to mix musical styles such as 70s vintage rock with traditional music of the Mediterranean bay, they invent a new form of expression, a multi-language single Glottis, where English and Arabic coexist harmoniously with Turkish, French, Hebrew, and more, generally in the same song, making this combo a unique original weapon of mass distraction !!!
The Falaf’Hell Power, new album to be released in october, shall be soon this very vivid vision of a tribute to the “FLOWER POWER” generation!
They also turned into hard rock pilgrims and gave life to “Lemmy Ah” Lamy” (lemmy the dreamer) who goes praising the old desert healer in their first tale, a gold and sacred ointments flamboyant tale of the 1011 nights, The Ace of spades (feat Rev James Legg).
