Order on Vinyl 2LP / CD / Digital: https://strut-records.co.uk/products/various-artists-senza-decoro-liebe-anarchia-switzerland-1980-1990

Taken from the upcoming compilation on Strut 'Senza Decoro: Liebe & Anarchia in Switzerland 1980-1990'. A new compilation exploring the far reaches of the post-punk, experimental and electronic landscape in Switzerland curated by producer / DJ Mehmet Aslan.

The first single from this Swiss compilation is 'Kabyl Marabù' by Dr. Chattanooga & The Navarones. Based out of the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland in Chiasso, the band started out playing "rupturing, dispersed sounds," before honing their sound into a melting pot of folk, rockabilly, punk, new wave, Latin and African influences and electronics. Hallucinatory and visionary, they used their own hybrid language within their lyrics, drawing on elements of English, Spanish, French, German and even Japanese. The band’s guitarist, Franco Ghielmetti aka F.J. de Bratislava, lived in Paris for a while and frequented a local hotel / bar run by the Kabyle people (a Berber community from Kabylia in the north of Algeria). Influenced by their music and the marabout business cards collected from shops in the neigbourhood, ‘Kabyl Marabù’ is a tribute to their Berber friends, singing the names of the marabouts and using words, noises and memories from a trip to Morocco.
