TESA'A by NAXÖ

TESA'A (in Arabic: تسعى / تسعه) is a double entendre for both number 9 and being a seeker. Number 9 meaning in numerology represents the great mental and spiritual realizations, it is the number of the initiation, because it marks the end of a phase of spiritual development and the beginning of another higher stage, symbolized by the passage from the units to the tens, guiding and empowering with wisdom and a humanitarian heart delivered to the world. Music is fusion of Middle-Eastern North-African folklore within groovy electronic polyrhythms and basses, drumming structures influenced by rock, jazz, trap, trance and psychedelic music. The album is 9 songs on queer culture/migration, transness, postcolonialism and re-imagining a better world, with deeply grand vocals, ecstatic synths and the kind of percussion that finds its way to your core!

NAXÖ uses sound and music to explore psychological narratives, subjectivities, and streams of consciousness to navigate personal transformations featuring transparent voices calling to resist, embedded deep within a wider frequency, energy and vibration.
