Håla Duett

Håla Duett is a duo comprising drummer Yann Joussein (co-founder of Collectif Coax, member of Keep The Bastards Honest, Tribalism3 and Bribes 4) and guitarist Franck Gaffer (the man behind Sheik Anorak, Gaffer Records, and a maverick on the DIY scene). The two musicians blend their influences — repetitive krautrock and traditional African rhythms — to create a sharp, danceable sound, somewhere between Sonic Youth, Tinariwen and Elvin Jones.

This unique collaboration takes us into a no man’s land between Tuareg rock and New York rock.

Hummed in various languages, Håla Duett’s compositions tackle simple yet fundamental themes such as music as a unifying force, or gender equality. Composed between Sweden (Gothenburg) and France (Paris), the EP “Rana” was recorded in Gnesta, east of Stockholm, during the 2018 Scandinavian tour.

The result: a unique blend of genres that were never meant to meet.
