Wará is the nickname of Fran Mora, a Sevillian music producer known for his dark and mysterious techno-industrial style who also publishes as /beyond/. Founder of the Urban legend label in 2014, he leaves us multiple references that transport the listener to the most melancholic and raw side of the music of our time. His first work, Luna Verde, is a 12-inch EP in which the Andalusian artist traces a captivating sound map of Raval, a charismatic neighborhood of Barcelona where an important Arab community resides and where the artist connects with his roots. This project was presented at MIRA FESTIVAL accompanied by the audiovisual work of UnSeen Av m based on the analog photography of Teresa Espada chemically manipulated by Raúl Hidalgo. His DJ sets spill a magma of industrial and futuristic noises that intermingle with organic
sounds, broken rhythms and Arabic murmurs. He has released the compilation “Purging Realities Part 1” on the Liber Null Berlin label and we have been able to see him at major events such as ADE Amsterdam, Tresor Berlin, Dominant, Moog or Razzmatazz. In his latest work “Muharib”, he pays tribute to the women of the Arab world, inspired by his continuous visits to Morocco, this work has recently been presented in Mexico City and San Diego. He is currently working on his next release “Naja” which will be inspired by the aisauuas or snake charmers, a classic figure in Moroccan lands.
