Malayeen - Malayeen

Malayeen is the project of Lebanese musicians Raed Yassin (Keyboards, Turntables & Electronics), Charbel Haber (Electric Guitar & Electronics) and Khaled Yassine (Darbouka, Percussion). Yassin is known for his long running Praed duo creating psychedelic improvisational Shaabi. Born from his and Haber’s love for the music of quintessential Egyptian guitarist Omar Khorshid, Malayeen disassembles and re-configures the work and style of the iconic guitarist innovative take on Arabic music. Khorshid's signature belly dancing-friendly sound is re-interpretated as percussive electronic beat with Shaabi groove. A unique record featuring the combined talents by key players of the Lebanese avant garde scene.
