Manahil is a new project from Quebec, Canada, created by Mathieu Fiset, Adamind’s keyboardist. The idea of having a side-project like that never crossed Mathieu’s mind untill he heard the voice and talent of Hind Fazazi.
The whole adventure started after a friendly jam session in August 2006. The two friends were often exchanging ideas and thoughts about music and naturally, they started to compose togheter. They quickly realised that something unique was being created so they decided to record a demo featuring their first compositions. This demo simply called « Manahil » was in fact the first draft of what would later become « Hadayane », their debut album. The main mood of Manahil’s music is dark and strongly influenced by arabian music. There is also a lot of progressive, ambient, electronic and even metal influences in the mix, creating its own unique style.
During their first year of existance, the duet worked on their debut album « Hadayane » wich is a global view of Manahil’s mysterious and original music. The album was released during September 2007 and was well received from listeners and critics. Now Manahil are working on a mini-album that will complete Hadayane with some songs that were not included on the album. This CD will reveal the other side of Manahil’s music with a more acoustic and jazzy sound. Expect the record to be released in the summer of 2008.
