Emerging from the vibrant Palestinian electronic music scene, ZENOBIA زنّوبيا have made a big impression over a short period of time: the band started performing a couple of years ago, and have already toured around the globe.ZENOBIA's music combines powerful beats, Levantine dabke rhythms and Arabic pop melodies. The band draw their inspiration from pop & folk music from all over the region (Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria). They refine their songs by taking them back and forth between their studio and the stage, where they improvise a lot, and feed off the audience reactions.The band consists of Nasser Halahlih and Isam Elias. Nasser was a pioneer in the local scene, he was arguably the first Palestinian electronic music producer, back in the late 90s. Young, fleet-fingered keyboardist Isam s background is in European classical music. The band s headquarters are in Haifa, the third-largest city in Israel, which has a relatively large Arab population. Artists such as Zenobia have been connecting more and more with other nexuses of the new Palestinian electronic music movement which is developing -regardless of political borders- between Haifa & Ramallah, and extending to Beirut, Amman and the diaspora. Zenobia are among the few bands from their home environment who perform abroad, and this has been very meaningful for their community, who is giving them a lot of support.The album is entitled Halak Halak - a slang expression meaning Welcome, welcome . It s the band s second release, after the introductory EP Ksr Ksr Ksr.Halak Halak is being released on Acid Arab Records, the special imprint created by Crammed Discs in partnership with Parisian collective Acid Arab. #reviews: https://www.blogfoolk.com/2021/06/zenobia-halak-halak-acid-arab.html http://www.musicmap.it/recdischi/ordinaperr.asp?id=8426 https://bebeez.it/2020/11/21/halak-halak-del-binomio-zenobia/ Show more
