African<\/a> Jewish music, where traditional Moroccan textures meet electronics, horns, and sampling. <\/p>\n<\/p>\nShaped by migration, memory, and the energy of the diaspora, the album draws on the artistic worlds of\u00a0Neta Elkayam\u00a0and\u00a0Amit Hai Cohen, alongside influences from New Orleans. Across seven extended tracks,\u00a0Ar\u00e9nas<\/em>\u00a0unfolds as an immersive, trance-like listening experience. \u00a0<\/p>\nEchoing her grandmother\u2019s birthplace in Tinghir, Morocco\u00a0Elkayam developed an intimate dialogue with her ancestral memory, writing lyrics through cyclic structures and repetition, and choosing her mother tongue\u2014Moroccan Arabic\u2014as the language of her art. In close collaboration with musical producer Amit Hai Cohen, the music was co-written and composed, taking shape through a blend of electronic and acoustic instrumentation. Both trace their family roots to Amazigh villages in Morocco, and this shared lineage runs through the album as an ongoing inquiry\u2014a listening process moving between memory, distance, and transformation. This process of imagined dialogue led to Ar\u00e9nas, transforming oral traditions into a contemporary sonic creation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
