This week, the label’s miniature headquarters at a long-shuttered record store in the eastern city of Oran will receive another prominent guest: French President Emmanuel Macron, whose official visit will be focused on outreach to youth in the North African country. Raspberry, on a ferry, I was feelin' kinda SEAsick on that boat! WHOOOA!.ORAN, Algeria: Legendary Algerian music label Disco Maghreb, which launched the careers of some of the Rai folk-inspired genre’s most famous stars, has seen a revival thanks to a hit song by DJ Snake. it's a game you play with yourself to see how long you can go without getting one of their songs stuck in your head until you can't help but burst into song singing, ". it's experiencing something new for the first time every time you hear the distinction of Christian's voice belting out "I am a man, man man man, up up in the air." the second time in their beautiful set Colours. they have pieces that bring you back to a state of mind where you can fully enjoy life and not get caught up in the world, pieces that make you smile and think "What do these words even mean?" but you accept it anyway, and some that make you want to do nothing but climb up on stage and dance with them! Their music is running through a daisy field while you're soaking wet from the beach with your partners in crime. And not even all of their songs are love songs. I mean, who else has butterflies when you think back on such a thrilling and invigorating memory of Christian singing at the top of his lungs and from his heart about Hannah, a rapturous woman that chants the same loving words right by his side? The enthusiasm from the physical playing of their music is more than just a joy to watch, because it's living through each and every one of their passions and pure-hearted feelings brought through their instruments. My experiences fall in love with the experiences and pleasures I've had seeing this band live. Their music represents a spirituality in the souls who created these melodies with words that fit like puzzles. I have never heard anything like Grouplove in my life.
