    • 2019 July 2, “Unquiet Spirits: Ifriqiyya Electrique Interviewed”, in thequietus.com:
      Banga, which translates as "huge volume", commemorates the 13th Century slave and Sufi saint Sidi Marzuq, who was frequently aided by a collective of rûwahînes or spirit allies. The opposite of an exorcism, Banga is an adorcism, inviting a spirit to possess you and then finding ways to accommodate and accept it once this happens.
