Urban legend records launches its new release; a four-track EP, under the name ‘Muharib‘, which means ‘warrior‘ in Arabic. This musical project created by the Barcelona – based artist Wará is a special tribute to the courage and determination of women in the Arabic world. It honours and celebrates their ability to resist injustice, embrace their empowerment, and their feminine essence. Through Muharib the artist explores and delves into the concepts of strength and femininity, weaving a sonorous homage to them. Each track on the EP is named after four remarkable women from the Arab world, whose dedication and efforts have made significant strides in the fight for women’s rights: Durriya Shafik, Zaynab al-Ghazzali, Nawal el-Saadawi, and Fatima Mernissi. Their inspiring legacies are intertwined with the melodies, breathing life into the EP that pays tribute to their tireless struggle and unwavering spirit.
We premiere Durriya a piece that introduces a sense of chaos and unpredictability. The carefully crafted distortions add layers of texture and complexity, creating an otherwordly experience that pushes the boundaries of conventional electronic music. A relentless baseline accompanied by the feminine voices of the islamic world amplifying the darkness and depth of the experience.
