The Dwarfs of East Agouza

The Dwarfs of East Agouza is a trio composed of Maurice Louca (Alif, Bikya), Sam Shalabi (Land of Kush, Shalabi Effect) and Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls, The Invisible Hands, Alvarius B.). Hailing from Cairo formed in 2012 while living in the same apartment building in Cairo's Agouza district. The trio soon set out on crafting their sound built on instrumental improvisational loops of percussion as well as taking influence from Krautrock and free jazz among other sounds.
