Kronos Records proudly presents the soundtrack to Gaza Mon Amour (2020) by André Matthias .

Gaza mon amour is directed by Tarzan Nasser and Arab Nasser with Salim Daw, Hiam Abbass, Maisa Abd Elhadi, George Iskandar, Hitham Al Omari and Manal Awad. Gaza Mon Amour wins Best Film in Cairo International Film Festival 2020.

Sixty-year-old fisherman Issa is secretly in love with Siham, a woman who works at the market with her daughter Leila.
When he discovers an ancient phallic statue of Apollo in his fishing nets, Issa hides it, not knowing what to do with this mysterious and potent treasure. Yet deep inside, he feels that this discovery will change his life forever. Strangely, his confidence starts to grow and eventually he decides to approach Siham.

Composer Andre Matthias (The Light Thief, Four Assassins, Wish You Were Here) once again delivers a stunning, I dare say magical score that crawls under your skin and takes you to Gaza in the blink of an eye, there in Issa's room, and in his head, in his heart and his movements.
Matthias has a very special talent to underscore emotions and in this one he beats even himself. You want the two to be together like you have known them all your life.

Once again accompanying the solo musicians that perform in this intimate score are Andre himself and once again another old friend of ours Riccardo Rocchi (from Fabio Frizzi's F2f - Frizzi To Fulci Band) on guitar, who is also featured in various of our releases (The Inflicted, Wish You Were Here, All Against All)

The CD is limited to 300 copies.
