about

My friend Rachid I met the first time I went to Essaouira, a spell binding town on the west african coast in Morocco. He was playing there in a place called Cafe Des Artes, the outstanding talent amongst an excellent band of brothers there. The cafe catered for some tourists and the young people from the town desperate for contact with the world beyond. This is the paradox I started to understand later. To me they lived in a kind of paradise, but just the fact that I was there, 'on holiday', laid stark the difference in our circumstances.
Rachid and many like him are unable to get out of their country to travel. The cost of getting a passport alone is way beyond their reach. This EP is me trying to pay back for the inspiration and one day get Rachid in the studio here at Limefield. These tracks I've made with songs Rachid has sent from his or friends phone recordings. I hope you enjoy and I hope you get to see Essaouira one day.
