about

Rough hewn and exhilarating, EL Khat's second album "Aalbat Alawi Op.99" is a deep dive into leader Eyal El Wahab's Yemenite roots and their inspired reimaginings. A careening orchestra of percussion, horns, strings, electricity and El Wahab's own DIY instruments. Mesmerizing retro-futurist sounds.

The first single "Djaja" is a frenetic rush of energy that sets the tone for the album's dense sonic and emotional architecture. El Wahab tells us this about the song : "the song talks about how fake what we see on our screens can be, about the constant need to be seen by others, to stay relevant and attractive all the time. An unreal reality that shows itself off with money and cars, with property, with things and more things."
