Fatima Al Qadiri is a multi-disciplinary artist and musician who was born in Senegal, raised in Kuwait and now resides in NYC, and her fascinating debut album Asiatisch is a simulated road trip through an imagined China.
Musically, Asiatisch is an homage to that quietly influential sub-strain of grime, often loosely termed "sinogrime" due to its preoccupation with Asian motifs and melodies and revolves around the fantasies of East Asia as refracted through pulpy Western pop culture. It's an epic confrontation between China's ancient soul, soft-synths, R&B and the onslaught of the industrial factory machine.
