Beirut’s SANAM fuses noise, krautrock, free jazz and Arabic tradition into a dense, ritualistic sound. Haunting vocals, buzzing guitars and buzuq melodies form a musical exorcism. Raw, immersive, emotionally charged.
Their debut Aykathani Malakon (Mais Um, 2023) was recorded entirely live and received praise from The Guardian, The Wire and BBC 6Music. The follow-up Sametou Sawtan (Constellation, 2025) leans into layered electronics and haunting vocals, sounding like Massive Attack reborn through Arabic poetry and jamming with Faust.
