Caïn و Muchi

Sobre

Caïn و Muchi was born from a collaboration between Vanda Forte and Sinclair Ringenbach through various university art projects. A first EP “Martyr/KU(7)” was self-released in March 2020, being the outcome of a long-distance collaboration, since Vanda was back in Morocco, their native country, during the first lockdown. Their universe merges traditional music from the MENA region and electronic music, halfway between experimental, rap and club music; a symbiosis of their respective influences. The meticulous sound design and the orchestration of the tracks, mixing crystalline voices, electronic beats and percussive pulses, are echoed in Vanda’s both dreamy and realistic committed lyrics. They like to sow doubt through metaphors and allegories, painting a multifaceted picture of life. Vanda sings in various Arabic dialects (Moroccan, Egyptian, Syrian...) and tackles subjects such as mental health, social oppression (racism, patriarchy, gender segregation) and political conflicts (war in Syria, Israeli-Palestinian conflict...) that transcend the human condition: resilience, new world, post-war. Caïn و Muchi has gradually made a place for itself in the cultural landscape of Marseille, through Metaphore, Montevideo, on the roof terrace of the Friche La Belle De Mai, at the Embobineuse and at the Deviation. They also performed at Stereolux (Nantes), Station Gare des Mines (Paris), Lavoir Public (Lyon) and BulleCafé (Lille); invited by Scopitone, Mu, Dreamachine, and Mouillette.
