Aralkum Aralas

Kazakh artist Galya Bisengalieva's debut album was released by One Little Independent in September 2020 and is a concept record about the shrinking of the Aral Sea. Now, roughly a year later, Galya is releasing 'Aralkum Aralas'. In Kazakh aralas means mixed/reworked. Galya has thoughtfully curated a remix album of artists to respond to her work having previously commissioned work for her label NOMAD Music Productions. Those musicians are: Coby Sey, Jing, Moor Mother, Jlin, CHAINES and Nazira. Galya approached artists whose practise she judged would resonate with her source material and bring new light to the narrative. She was interested in getting responses from artists from diverse backgrounds for their insight into her voice.
