SANAM (lb), KAYD & friends

SANAM's music is a ritual where improvised rock, free jazz and noise underscore an exorcism of traditional Egyptian song and Arabic poetry. Sandy Chamoun (vocals), Antonio Hajj (bass), Farah Kaddour (buzuk), Anthony Sahyoun (guitar, synth), Pascal Semerdjian (drums) and Marwan Tohme (guitars) bring a myriad of influences gleaned from years performing either solo or as members of influential acts in Beirut’s tightknit independent music scene (such as Al Rahel al Kabir, Postcards, Kinematik and Oviid).

Blending sounds, breaking borders, born in Hamburg: KAYD & friends is a fusion band, founded by musicians who share a deep passion for blending different styles and exploring new musical possibilities. The band takes its name from its founders, Kamil and Aydin, who have been making music together for years.

Highly recommended by Diarfest!
