Karkara are an explosive power trio that furiously mixes garage / fuzz with middle eastern sounds, KARKARA is an unprecedented project that takes the gamble of glueing together the East and the West sound in a common goal: transcendence. Created in 2017 in Toulouse, France, born from the idea of the guitarist and the bassist and inspired by the psychedelic rock scene of the Middle East and the Maghreb of the 60s and 70s, the band combines its traditional inspirations with a vicerale taste for the shattering sounds of garage fuzz and contemporary krautrock.
Their debut album «Crystal Gazer», recorded at Swampland studio and mastered by the American producer Jim Diamond, who had recorded and collaborated with the White Stripes in Detroit under Ghetto Records in the 90's, is a hypnotic musical production inspired by the mystical folklores all around the middle eastern countries.
