Their selttitled album de- and reconstructs the music of Egyptian guitarist Omar Khorshid, an icon of the Arab world. who in the 1960’s formed Egyptian beat group Les Petit Chats. This album displaces popular and folk forms into more contemporar idioms, destabilizing mostly melodic, beat-driven pieces through sonic manipulations and appliqué textures.The seven compositions are named after Khorshid - the brief, plangent opening track - and belly dancers from the Arabic diaspora. The haunting, driving 17 minute ‘’Samia’’ is the highpoint, climaxing in a hall of mirrors standoff between Yassine’s darbouka (goblet drum) and Yassin’s recording of another darbouka. It’s a sublime album that makes most previous efforts at bringing together East and West look crass’’ Andy Hamilton in The Wire \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Discrepant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42577956634780,"sku":"CREP10","price":22.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/CREP10.jpg?v=1690307088","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/malayeen-malayeen","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
