Al Doum & The Faryds have always been an enchanting organism, a timeless land of wisdom, humility, brotherhood and love. Their blend of spiritual jazz, psychedelia and Afro-Latin rock holds a magical balance, turning their music into a tropical celebration filled with harmony and deep vibrations. A volcano of emotion, where the poetry of rising and falling voices becomes a gospel and soul illumination, echoing from faraway places. The expanded horn section — alto and tenor sax, soprano sax and bass clarinet — erupts with power, igniting incandescent grooves. Sax lines weave and chase one another like a train in relentless motion, evoking the urgency of post-punk, a wry Zappa-esque eccentricity, and exotic jazz-folk arrangements tinged with retro flair. A hybrid assemblage, deeply anchored in the Sixties and Seventies, flowing through free-form instrumental turns and psych-tribal impulses, where the guitar traces unexpected, lysergic, dreamlike paths.
The Faryds continue to believe in the possibility of a new utopia: moving forward with courage, with hearts open to human connections, grounded in the dialogue of their souls.
