SANAM Bandcamp
Perhaps in the same way as Lankum reach into the past to creat a new future Sanam have soaked up the Trad Arabic songs of their Beirut home town and mixed them with a sparse dark energy, industrial clank to create mesmerising post rock soundscapes. Mixing traditional Egyptian songs and Arabic poetry with improvised rock, free jazz, and noise, their first album, ‘Aykathani Malakon’, was recorded in a traditional house in the village of Saqi Reshmaya, and is out on Mais Um Discos.
