Swaken is released on 10 May 2024

Come, enter the world of Swaken, the wildly anticipated sophomore album by French-Moroccan power quartet, Bab L'Bluz. Eleven tracks that spark and pulse with kinetic, pedal-to-the-metal energy. Follow the spiral, and find your centre. Move and whirl, headbang and hair whip, into a place that is out there and deep within, an altered state where minds open, boundaries fall away and trust - in values, principles, ourselves - is rediscovered, made real. This is ancient-to-future music, rooted as much in psychedelic blues, funk and rock as in the trancey, propulsive rhythms of northern Africa's Maghreb: Gnawa, Amazigh, Hassani and Houara music.

Verse 1
Even if our ancestors considered those who did not speak their language as strangers, words are sometimes superficial. You need to dig deeper to understand their meanings.
People who are that close, are not supposed to hate each other. We belong to the same land, and our sky has always testified to that.
Chorus
We (North African natives) are all true Amazighs.
The Amazigh culture is embedded in our hearts.
We (North African natives) are all true Amazighs.
Our Amazigh origin is like the daylight that brightens our hearts.
Verse 2
One who understands the language of glances is more sincere. The heart never lies, and facial expressions reflect true emotions.(Sometimes, there's no need to speak to understand each other).
People who are that close, are not supposed to hate each other. We belong to the same land, and our sky has always testified to that.
Bridge
Imazighen, I will endure through time, no matter what others say.
The blood flowing in my veins and in those of my sisters and brothers is Amazigh, regardless of what people say.
Imazighen, against the will of those who do not accept the truth, and regardless of what they say.
Imazighen, my blood is mixed, and my heart embraces differences, no matter what people say.
