BOOGIE BALAGAN
Oriental Rock ’n’ World
Rock'n'Roll, peace and harissa. The love-explosive Paris-based duo sets the tone.
NEW ALBUM "GÖZLERIM YAHALOM"
Following a series of singles released over recent months, BOOGIE BALAGAN unveiled their new album “Gözlerim Yahalom” in May. Welcome to the Anatolian rock universe of this Paris-based duo, where raw rock ’n’ roll blends with Middle Eastern rhythms, and lyrics move seamlessly between Turkish, Arabic and Hebrew.
A creation that is both deeply rooted and forward-looking; a vibrant mix of rebellious humor, social critique and pure soul.

A FREE AND MULTILINGUAL DNA
BOOGIE BALAGAN is the meeting of Azri and Gabri, two musicians who have been developing a multilingual, free-spirited and uncompromising rock and world music project since 2004. Their music moves like a caravan, traveling from Tel Aviv to Paris via Istanbul, tracing an artistic path beyond cultural and identity borders.
Rock’n’roll, blues, Mediterranean and Eastern influences intertwine in a sound that is raw, festive and socially engaged. Electric guitars, sun-drenched grooves and diverse sonic textures create a cosmopolitan universe where French, English, Arabic, Hebrew and Turkish coexist. BOOGIE BALAGAN embraces an open, humanistic and unifying approach.
