about

“AIDA” is the new album by Maïa Barouh.

Aida means “between” in Japanese: between France and Japan, between the mainland and the islands, between the ancient and the modern. The character for the word is 間, a sun caught between two doors.

Written, arranged and produced by Maïa over the past few years, she has built a distinctive soundworld around her two main instruments, flute and voice .The resulting album is raw, spacious and thought-provoking whilst also being playful, quirky and sometimes disconcerting, for example when she explores anti-Asian racism and feminism.

Embracing the challenge of combining her two native languages, she collaborated with rapper Elea Braaz to find the perfect French lyrics for traditional Japanese melodies and to find a Japanese rhythmic flow when rapping in French.

Her lyrics and production take inspiration from the eccentric Tokyo underground scene, traditional folk singing, tribal grooves, French rap and electronic elements: a sonically and culturally blended album which fluctuates between roots and reinvention.
