El Khat

“El Khat make joyful clatter…everything is recycled metal, plastic or wood, all coming together in a
funereal march that sounds like a huge, disgruntled anima shaking itself into life.”
The Financial Times
Skittering drums and brass, a jagged organ, hypnotic Yemeni melodies and one-of-a-kind DIY percussion and string instruments, all meld together in an infectious, heady soundscape: El Khat’s 3rd album mute belies its title as it careens out of the speakers with a raucous intensity. Formed in the garages and warehouses of Jaffa and now based in Berlin, the group’s ever expanding vision makes a defiant stand against complacency, conflict and division.
