Watcha Clan
For ten years Watcha Clan has been the watch word for innovative Mediterranean grooves. To mark the dynamic decade they have redefined and revitalized their distinctive electro sound, pepping up the party further with their Diaspora Hi-Fi project.
The Diaspora is in the music, the music is in the Diaspora, blown on the winds across the waters from Algeria to Agadir to Andalucia, meeting in the Marseille melting pot. The clan are musical nomads on a mission in search of space and freedom, embodied in the voice of Sista K whose mixed Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Berber ancestry epitomizes the borderless roots of Watcha-Clan's music manifesto.
Jewish, Muslim, Catholic or atheist? It doesn't matter. The future lies in faith in man and woman, brother and sister-hood and that's the message blasting out of the Diaspora Hi-Fi.
"Watcha Clan is one of the most exciting bands I've seen on the world music circuit. They were controlled chaos in action -at times sounding Balkan, others Brooklyn and then Egyptian. There were also Moroccan rhythms and Sufi trance mixed with the electronica. For all the reasons I've mentioned this shouldn't work -it should be a mess- but it does. It is the talents of these musicians and their magnetic and charismatic presence that makes it so". Bob Boilen, NPR Music. 11.01.09
