About the track:

"Mahboula" means "mad" in Algerian arabic. Based upon a text about (not) being mad as a female artist from North Africa, it mixes up vocal improvisations in French, English, Arabic and invented languages, made and recorded in different places and times. This spoken+sung word piece is conceived as a multi-layered, afrofuturist spell for liberated times, people and places.

Lila Lakehal (she / her) is a French-Algerian author, singer, performer and vocal artist born in Algiers in 1985 and based in Paris, France. She explores a large array of artistic and healing techniques for the self and the collective. In her writing, spoken word and vocal work, she expresses vulnerability, exile, creativity, North African culture and heritage, decolonization and feminism. She hosts a vocal lab/podcast under her alias “Mashi Miskina” (“I am not miserable” in Arabic). She is also lead singer-songwriter of the indie rock band Silwane. She has performed in different places and venues, such as the Sound :: Gender :: Feminism :: Activism Symposium, CRISAP, in Tokyo, Japan, the Poetry Market in Paris Saint-Germain des Prés or the Algerian festival Raconte-Arts in Kabylie. She runs writing and voice workshops worldwide and online.
