Turning Heads podcast to speak about his new album,
Kabul Fire Vol. 2
Turning Heads episode 29 features a conversation with German-Afghan producer Farhot. The Hamburg-based artist’s latest album,
Kabul Fire Vol. 2, came out in January 2021.
It’s been seven years since the series’ previous instalment –
Kabul Fire Vol. 1 – during which time Farhot has produced tracks for artists such as Isaiah Rashad, Selah Sue and Talib Kweli. Farhot’s production aesthetic is comparable to expert genre-defying beatmakers Madlib, J Dilla, Geoff Barrow and The Avalanches.
The new album finds Farhot reconnecting with the culture of his homeland, Afghanistan, which he left as a child more than 30 years ago. It includes audio clips taken from numerous Afghan films and a spoken word piece by fellow Hamburg-based Afghan artist, Moshtari. Vocalists JuJu Rogers, Nneka, Tiggs Da Author and Maverick Sabre also make appearances.
