Flamingods
International psych explorers Flamingods are a four-piece, multi-instrumental band from Bahrain & London founded in 2010. The group explores and experiments with an array of influences from western psychedelia, jazz and indie to a wide-eyed obsession with music from the East. Using a vast selection of instruments from the Middle East and Asia, the band marries this with western instrumentations of synthesisers, guitars and drums to create a potent sound all of its own that they call ‘Exotic Psychedelia’. #flamingods #globalbandstandweekender #thepeopleslounge #people'slounge

Flamingods - Rhama
The concept for the Rhama music video revolves around a mysterious society of Pakistani wrestlers that are present in Dubai. Dedicating their lives to a traditional form of wrestling called Kushti, their matches take place every Friday during sunset in a sandy lot of land in old Dubai. Over the past few months we have attended these matches, and got to know the wrestlers with the help of our Urdu translator. In making this video, the Barbu TV guys were invited to live in their rural Al Ain apartment for a few days. The video shows the culture surrounding the wrestling, and the symbolism and ritual behind it; as well as flashes of everyday Pakistani life in the UAE – perhaps a surprising visual given the country’s notoriety for being a glossy metropolis.

Flamingods - Taboo Grooves
Filmed on the south coast and directed by Elliot Arndt & Laura Little, the video takes inspiration from an old story surrounding “the most haunted place in the UK” an old building in Devon, now a pub, which contained a staircase that had been a constant source of misfortune. In an attempt to banish the curse, the owners held a pagan burial for the staircase on top of a hill. The pair decided to adapt this mystical story for Flamingods Director Elliot Arndt describes the video; “As soon as I heard the track I had this feeling of a large group of friends & freaks together creating a magical and spiritual scene. The staircase represents ascension, illumination, and the burial contrasts with it because of its very nature, death and grounding”.

Flamingods - Marigold
Marigold from Flamingods fourth studio album ‘Levitation’ on Moshi Moshi Records: http://smarturl.it/Levitation Directed by Barbu.TV, Marigold was shot on a trip to Oman which involved hazardous border crossings, Omani motorbike riders and the band creating their own ornate jackets. Shooting the video in and around the remote city of Nizwa you’re taken on a vibrant journey, featuring innovative camerawork and hypnotic animation. “We had heard about this gang of motorbike riding youths through our friend and knew immediately that we wanted to make a music video with them. They live in a remote city in Oman called Nizwa and have had these vintage bikes passed down from generation to generation. I think the motion of them riding the bikes melded with the motorik groove of the song perfectly and the sun-soaked environment was just what we needed to capture the song’s themes" Directed and Produced by Barbu TV Pre-Production and Drone Photography by Ali Al Sharji Animation by Satwa 3000 Special thanks to: Faris Zakwani, Klay, Dino and Muayad Al Harthy Shot in Oman, 2018 in Nizwa, Jabal Akdhar, Birkat Al Mouz, Barka, Muttrah, Ruqi, Wadi Al Kabeer (Muscat Skate Park), Qurom and Ruwi
