“Shems” means “Sun” and is the second single from the Dar Haleshla EP “Feenkoum?”. Based around a fusion groove of a driving house music drum beat and arrangements from French producer Delta Patch and a percussion polyrhythm from Moroccan “Aissawa” music, it features Mouna Eddrou’s floating, beautiful lyrics in French and a funky, syncopated percussion arrangement. This well-crafted fusion makes for a hypnotic, heady and innovative house music track.
