EL KHAT concert

Back in 2019, El Khat began to hone their sound in garages and warehouses. Experimenting

with

DIY homemade instruments, as an expression of a minimalist life philosophy, led the three-

piece to create a collection of Arabic tunes of Yemeni origin. While the detachment from any

nation or any flag is a driving force behind the group, the heart of their music and heritage is

rooted in the culture of Yemen. The constant divisions that have been created by wars and

immigrations has pushed out a reassembled identity, something that is strongly felt in El

Khat's

music. With two albums behind them and a third to be released in autumn 2024, El Khat is

constantly in motion as they share their art globally.
