Lorkê Lorkê

Lorkê Lorkê was born in Toulouse in 2021, from the meeting of four musicians united by a desire to explore and reinvent the sounds of the Middle East. The band mixes contemporary influences with traditional repertoires, aiming to build bridges between cultures and to celebrate the diversity of musical traditions from the Middle East and North Africa.

A retro-futuristic whirl

Somewhere between Altın Gün, Acid Arab and Omar Souleyman, Lorkê Lorkê’s compositions swing between Middle Eastern traditions and electric grooves. A voice leads and an explosive rhythm section drives, with the colours of a cosmic guitar and an uninhibited synth. On stage, the set is dynamic and full of improvisation, and a dancer joins the musicians with dervish and tribal-fusion choreography, sometimes captivating the audience, sometimes inviting it to dance. A first EP came out in 2026, and a second is announced for spring 2027.

For sync and licensing

Oriental colour and electric grooves suggest energy and tension: night scenes, road and chase sequences, thriller or crime atmospheres, and fashion or lifestyle content that wants a distinctive, slightly psychedelic signature. This is an editorial reading of the music, not a statement about any placement.
