Drums, brass, organ and DIY instruments = heady soundscape
El Khat – named after the drug khat that has been chewed for centuries in the Middle East – is “a quartet led by brilliant Yemeni-Israeli composer and musician Eyal El Wahab that takes an innovative hand to old Yemeni sounds as passed down in popular music of decades past” according to Pop Matters.
In 2019, El Khat began experimenting with DIY instruments in garages to pursue the minimalist philosophy of life. This led to an endless collection of Arabic melodies of Yemeni origin. Now with two albums notched up and a third on the way, El Khat is constantly moving to share their art with the world. Regardless of any country or flag, music is the group’s driving force.
They previously performed at BRDCST where they almost transformed AB Club into a Middle-Eastern wedding party. And now they return to renew the vows!
This is a Liveurope concert: the first pan-European initiative supporting concert venues in their efforts to promote emerging European music.
