Fortuna Records

Fortuna Records Showcase @ Bord de l’eau | 17.04.15

After their first appearance in the 2014 Reworks International Music Festival held in Thessaloniki, Fortuna Records is back for one more showcase.

Based in Tel Aviv, Fortuna Records specializes in the forgotten psychedelic sounds of Israel, the Middle east and much more. After years of digging, djing and partying, the three people behind this exceptional label, Maor Anava, Zack Bar and Ariel Tager, realized they shared a common fascination and affection for the same eccentric and original sounds. They are responsible for the emergence and diffusion of the Jaffa sound, which originated in the city of Jaffa and is characterized as a mixture of traditional Mediterranean music infused with plush guitars, heavy drums and synthesizers.

The songs reflect the different backgrounds of the participating artists and feature Greek, Turkish, Moroccan, Arabian and Jewish elements. With two appearances in the Boiler Room already under their belt and the support of Gilles Peterson and the BBC, they are responsible for the creation of the global phenomenon “Jaffa buzz”.

Support Dj: Nadja
