MAJANEEN

Sol Selectas welcomes back Safar with his "Majaneen" EP, featuring three Afro Tribal tracks inspired by his Moroccan and Arabic heritage.

The title track “Majaneen” translates to “the crazy people” and embodies the untamed energy of dance floors across the globe during Safar's performances. It also nods to his unique, wild style of storytelling through music.

“Laafou" literally translates to “Pardon” in English, and the song pays homage to a holistic ceremony from the Gnawa culture, a ritualistic practice aimed at seeking divine forgiveness. On the song Safar collaborates with AMVN, and Abdellah Stitou on vocals. 

On “Escalera” we hear the more melodic afro side of Safar’s expression, skillfully merging edgy analog sounds with Afro tech drums to forge an electrifying groove.

The artwork by Helia Jamali captures the essence of Majaneen in the  lands of the desert travelers, and the harmony of the ancient sounds and electronic beats.
