Houeida Hedfi - Fleuves de L'Ame [PHLP15]

Announcing an exciting new signing to Phantasy, Houeida Hedfi presents her debut album, 'Fleuves de l'Âme'. Merging traditional Tunisian folk music with contemporary sound design, this elegant community collaboration was produced alongside Olof Dreijer of The Knife.

Originally a percussionist, Hedfi first met Dreijer when he visited Tunisia and produced her contribution to a 2011 compilation of female Tunisian artists. This kindled a nine-year collaboration which culminates in Fleuves de l'Âme , an elegant marriage of traditional folk music and contemporary sound design drawing references from Hedfi’s drumming expertise and the textures of Tunisian music alongside a startlingly broad array of global genres.

'Fleuves de l'Âme' is available now on gatefold vinyl and CD.
