PaulTheOwl/Ripper/MxBv Listened quite a few times since discovering Gyaling around the time of release, and it unveils absolute brilliance and pure hypnotic genius with repeated listens.

I can't get enough of the 'Fussa malussa' loop and the clever layers added. For me, the track is where everything really begins making sense, and the addiction is born.

If you find this album of AKC first, then you have to continue with the others. So much gold in them.

High in my all time list of favourite experimental albums. Favorite track: Fussa malussa.

willy vlyminck The most incredible record I heard in ages. simply said, this is experimental World Music, but it is much more. than that, but you might get the idea, best listen with good headphones to absorb every detail.

about

Aisha Kandisha: a woman of terrifying beauty
Although there are several versions of Aisha Kandisha, also called Aicha Kandicha, all of them highlight the extraordinary beauty of this female elf. A beauty that could be considered terrifying or haunting, as it was used to seduce those who observed it and then subject them to a cruel end: death, inflicted by itself or by suicide.
She is often described as a beautiful woman from the waist up, but with goat or camel legs. She is also often depicted with ram's hands and / or goose-nails. Her features were shocking, when compared to those of a standard Maghreb woman: extremely white skin and long red hair, although she too may have been black.
Another characteristic is her relationship with water. All versions place
the natural habitat of it in the waters of the sea, in the courses of rivers or even in the depths of wells. From these places she would come out, almost always in the dark of night, to hunt down her victims.
Orphan and executioner of Portuguese in Mazagan?
One of the most widespread versions of Aisha Kandisha describes her as a young orphan who lost her entire family to the outrages of the Portuguese army centuries ago, in the city of Mazagán, today El-Jadida. She, to avenge her suffering, used her beauty to seduce the soldiers and then kill them.
Daughter of Count Don Julián?
The other famous version, especially in northern Morocco, indicates
that Aisha Kandisha was the daughter of Count Don Julián, the ruler of Ceuta who reached an agreement with the Arab armies to facilitate his landing and subsequent conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. General Tarik, at the head of the troops, demanded from Count Don Julián his daughter as collateral. Thus, the beautiful young woman, who came every night to bathe in the waters of the Strait, would also be the enigmatic figure of Mount Musa, known as the Dead Woman (due to the shape of this mountain when viewed from Ceuta).

Aisha Kandisha: una mujer de terrorífica belleza
Aunque hay varias versiones sobre la Aisha Kandisha, también llamada Aicha Kandicha, todas destacan la extraordinaria belleza de este duende femenino. Una belleza que se podría considerar de terrorífica o embrujante, pues fue empleada para seducir a quienes la observaban y después someterles a un cruel final: la muerte, infligida por ella misma o por suicidio.
A menudo es descripta como una hermosa mujer de cintura para arriba, pero con piernas de cabra o camello. También se la representa a menudo con manos de carnero y/o uñas de gallina. Sus facciones eran chocantes, si las comparamos con las de una mujer estándar magrebí: piel extremadamente blanca y largo cabello pelirrojo, aunque también pudo haber sido negro.
Otra característica es su relación con el agua. Todas las versiones sitúan
su hábitat natural en las aguas del mar, en los cursos de los ríos o incluso en lo más profundo de los pozos. De estos lugares saldría, casi siempre en la oscuridad de la noche, para dar caza a sus víctimas.
¿Huérfana y verdugo de portugueses en Mazagán?
Una de las versiones más extendidas sobre la Aisha Kandisha la describe como una joven huérfana que perdió a toda su familia por las tropelías del ejército portugués siglos atrás, en la ciudad de Mazagán, hoy El-Jadida. Ella, para vengarse de su sufrimiento, utilizaba su belleza para seducir a los soldados y, a continuación, matarlos.
¿Hija del Conde don Julián?
La otra versión famosa, especialmente en el norte de Marruecos, indica
que la Aisha Kandisha era la hija del Conde don Julián, gobernante de Ceuta que llegó a un acuerdo con los ejércitos árabes para facilitar su desembarco y posterior conquista en la Península Ibérica. El general Tarik, al frente de las tropas, exigió al Conde don Julián a su hija como garantía. Así, la hermosa joven, que acudía cada noche a bañarse en las aguas del Estrecho, sería también la enigmática figura del Monte Musa, conocido como la Mujer Muerta (por la forma que tiene esta montaña cuando se observa desde Ceuta).
