Doors 7:30\n\nSANAM’s m usic is a ritual where improvised rock\, free jazz and noise underscore an exorcism of traditional Egyptian song and Arabic poetry. They bring a myr iad of influences gleaned from years performing either solo or as members of influential acts in Beirut’s tight-knit independent music scene.\nSAN AM formed following an invitation to perform with Hans Joachim Irmler from the legendary German experimental group Faust\, at Beirut’s Irtijal mus ic festival in 2022. After that they decided to go on a recording residenc y together instead in a traditional house in the village of Saqi Reshmaya\ , Lebanon. “The musical direction for SANAM was set out by the improv se ssions with Joachim\,” says Sahyoun. “We weren’t looking at doing so mething specific\, it ended up coming out as a weird mix between improvise d rock\, tarab/arabic song and ambient.”\nThe record has met with a grea t critical reception in the UK\, and the group are lined up to play Cafe O TO\, End of the Road and We Out Here festivals along with Lewes Con Club o n this summer tour!\n“Beirut group Sanam’s debut record blasts to life with its mix of low-tuned guitar jams\, industrial drums\, and earthy voc als – an immersive collection of dark and spacious textures” – The G uardian\n"Absolutely love this record\, it’s amazing” – Tom Ravenscr oft\, BBC 6Music\n“A bit post punk and experimental and very\, very inte resting” – Gilles Peterson\n“A gritty blend of noise rock\, ambient textures and Arabic forms that cast the traditional material in a visceral new context” – The Wire\nImage credit: Jo Higgs https://www.facebook. com/JoyenHiggs\n\n[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCJ2gER2wyQ[/e mbedyt] ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.lewesconclub.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2024/03/sanam2024.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240331T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
