Fera is the latest album from Egyptian composer and multi-instrumentalist Maurice Louca, released on Simsara Records in
May 2025.
Wild, hypnotic, and sonically rich, the nine-track record centers on
polyrhythmic grooves and vibrant acoustic textures; violin, synthesizers, custom-built microtonal guitars, and percussion.
With Fera, Louca deepens his genre-defying trajectory; blending psychedelic Egyptian shaabi, cosmic jazz, and experimental sound,
while crafting compositions that blur the line between structure and improvisation.

Live Show:
