  • Bio

    Kerieva - Vocalist, Multi-Instrumentalist, Dancer. For news of live concerts, collaborations and recordings go to facebook.com/KERIEVA plus-Listen to tracks and buy album at www.kerieva.com .. Bio .. Kerieva - Vocalist, Multi-instrumentalist and Dancer- has forged a reputation as being one of the most original emerging artists to appear on the current music scene. However she has spent most of her life creating artful, experimental music that defies classification. .. Her dub-fused post-punk but jazzy sound is delivered lyrically with dark humour, and an unnerving honesty. Her stark songs, often bruisingly powerful, sung in both Romanés and English, contain a poetic abandon and are a social commentary on the human experience, both sacred and profane. .. Kerieva presents a refreshing twist on Romani (Gypsy) influenced contemporary music, and her latest album Stand Aside bears testimony to this, having been compared to artists as diverse as P.J Harvey, Bjork, Mitsoura and the Slits /Ari Up (RIP). .. Kerieva and 'Cellist Tania Lopez Bran are currently performing work from their latest show 'En Camino', which will be touring in 2012. Using loop station technology, live strings, vocal dexterity and Flamenco dance, this duo take you on an uplifting journey, where the sights and sounds of different terrains are the backdrop for the filling stations of the soul. .. Whether performing as a duo, as a 7 piece band, or as a Soundsystem, Kerieva has received an overwhelming response from audiences both in the UK and internationally at festivals, clubs and theatre venues. She has also been featured on BBC Radio, by presenters such as Mary Ann Kennedy and Max Reinhardt. .. Kerieva continues to collaborate with artists and producers, working closely with Steve Chandra Savale (AKA Chandrasonic) as guest vocalist on the latest Asian Dub Foundation album, (A History of Now-released Feb 2011), and live vocalist with ADF, having recently opened Brighton Festival to a sell out 2,000 capacity crowd. .. Her other collaborations include vocalist and writer on new album by Damon Minchella of Ocean Colour Scene, (being currently recorded), and working with producer Adrian Sherwood (Coldcut, Sinéad O'Connor, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, On-U Sound Records) on his 2 latest albums due for release 2011- a dub collective of female world vocalists singing in their indigenous languages, (Kerieva sings in Romanés), plus the new Dub Syndicate album. ..

  • Influences

    .. A walk on the Camino de Sacromonte at night to the sound of crickets and distant laughter..women shout-speaking across gates, from balconies..an Aunts' words.. a silent scream.. the call to prayer..dreams and nightmares..the song that won't leave..a high wind in a blistering, brilliant heat..old couples still in love. ..

    Halalwood

    First there was Hollywood…then Bollywood…and now…Halalwood, Morocco's first and foremost digitalizer's debut album for Crammed.

    ‘Halalwood’ is a tour-de-force which puts gnawa music, dub, sinuous classic Arabic arrangements for qanun, flute & violins, electronic beats, rappers & MCs, big drums & crunchy rock guitars in a giant blender to produce something fresh and original… U-Cef has all the legitimacy & inspiration needed to navigate between cultures, without any prejudices, disrespect or fear: Born and raised in Rabat, he absorbed much of his native Morocco's multiple traditions before moving first to New York and then to London, immersing himself along the way in the Western world's electronic & rock scenes. His first CD ‘Halalium’ (2001) was a milestone in Moroccan urban dance music, and has inspired a whole generation of rappers, b-boys and pro-tools adventurers, from Tangiers to Taroudant and Melilla to Marrakech.

    Featuring an exciting cast of high-profile guests including Damon Albarn, Natacha Atlas, Rachid Taha, Mirror System (Steve Hillage & Miquette Giraudy), Oum Alright, UK Apache, Amina Annabi, Justin Adams and Moroccan rap duo Dar Gnawa.
