- The project, also called Gumar, is out on March 10th.
Fatima Al Qadiri is back on Hyperdub with a new EP.
Out on March 10th, Gumar is a collaboration with a fellow Kuwaiti artist, also called Gumar. Pairing his mournful vocals with Al Qadiri's restrained production, the project pays homage to lamentation singing, which featured prominently in both artists' upbringing.
A Hyperdub mainstay, Al Qadiri landed on the label with her debut album, Asiatisch, in 2014. She followed this with two more albums: Brute and the RA-recommended Medieval Femme. She also composed the soundtrack for La Abuela, a 2021 horror film directed by Paco Plaza.
Listen to "Mojik (Your Waves)," and revisit Al Qadiri's RA Exchange from 2018.
