2/13/2023 0 Comments Enya enya album cover photo![]() ![]() There is a brief passage of vocals on the Ganges-inspired “Namami Gange (Obéissance au Gange)” in which the British electronic musician Jam Rostron, aka Planningtorock, announces “When are you gonna start?” amid the sound of breaths, computer-edited into a glitchy rhythmic accompaniment. The eight tracks are named after rivers from around the world. But the resulting pieces of music by the Paris-based Tunisian percussionist turn out to be nothing like Brel, or indeed Enya. Whereas the original could conceivably be a Jacques Brel song, “Rivers of the Soul” has an incense-infused, new-age feel: like something by Enya, one might say. Its title is one of those dramatic French terms that suffers from translation into English. Houeida Hedfi’s debut album Fleuves de l’Âme is themed around rivers. Nor are they said to be still as a lake, their silent inland waterway cousins. Unlike the sea, they don’t pound or crash. They are imagined as vocal characters, bodies of water with voices.
