Ep 266 pt.1 w/ حلالاماما

حلالاماما (HALALAMAMA) is the moniker of Iraqi artist Mariam Tawfik.  Mariam is behind the club night HAFLEH, which is a party run by and for migrants in Aotearoa. Her sets centre heavy percussive sounds and vocals, and are influenced by long drawn-out orchestral ballads by artists such as Oum Kalthoum and Warda, and works by more contemporary middle eastern producers such as DJ Plead and Al Nather. Her mix for us tonight draws together tracks and samples from several different genres and eras, including the Iraqi classic Khala Ya Khala by Bassim Al-Ali, one of her mothers favourite tunes, works by the Wellington based producer Aspen, and bangers by Nancy Ajram. @halalamama Tropikal Camel - Deja Groove [Rebel Up] M4URI M4STA - PŪ0R0 PL4Y V0L. 001 [Self] DJ Plead - X5 [SUMAC] Flore - Evidence (Azu Tiwaline Remix) [Polaar] Muslimgauze - Mullah Said [Staalplaat] Interview with منتظر الزيدي (Muntadhar al-Zaidi) Julmud - Fel Bo2s [Ma3azef] Fawzi - Shader الشادر [BLTNM بلاتنم] aspen - Live v.1 [Self] Pletnev - Ninja Cuburru [KUMP] Basem Al Ali - Khala ya Khala [Takwene] Medusa - Neheb N3ch Hayati [Jakarta] DJ Stephan 20 Steph - Dabeekeh ft.
