Baba Yaga's Hut Presents:
Pouya Ehsaei: People of the Wind - Album Launch at The Horse Hospital
An epic whirlwind of heavy sub-bass, stormy woodwinds, and uncanny vocals, conjuring ghosts of the old and new, the intimate and the alien, the literary and the chaotic. Fusing post-industrial, dub techno, avant-garde jazz, African drumming, and experimental hip-hop into a dark, captivating sonic experience.
A thrilling new collaboration led by the trailblazing Pouya Ehsaei (live electronics/ Ariwo, From the Lips to the Moon, Parasang), the project features the untamable force of Tamar Osborn (Collocutor, Flock, Unknown to Known) on wind instruments, and the kaleidoscopic voice of Tara Fatehi (From the Lips to the moon, Mishandled Archive).
“People of the Wind” is dropping soon on Akazib Records — and we’re celebrating its release in style at the legendary Horse Hospital.
Inspired by the journey of Zar — possession-trance healing rituals rooted in dance, percussion, and song — People of the Wind draws the listener on a sea voyage, from the shores of East Africa to the haunted coasts of Iran. They weave together experiences of displacement and migration, deep-rooted musical traditions, and futuristic soundscapes.
Since the success of his band Ariwo, Pouya Ehsaei has performed with live musicians across genres. His music has been hailed as ‘paralyzing and moving all at once’ [Pitchfork], ‘dreamy, punk and nonconformist’ [Worms], and ‘formidably integrated’ [The Wire].
