The many migration flows also bring music from everywhere. More than ever, Belgian music is a melting pot of genres and sounds.
In 2022, Yagoon worked on a modern interpretation of Dabke songs, Dabke is a Levantine-Arabic folk dance and popular in various parts of the Middle East. Variations can be found in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Northern Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
Project from Klein Verhaal and coach by Yamen Martini and Genís Laguna.
The result: The Dabke Sessions. An EP with five popular dabke songs in a new guise. Jazzy keys, ripping rock solos, pulsating electronics, soulful voices. Arabic and western sounds in a blender.
Recorded and produced at StudiO.666, Oostende by Yamen Martini. Mixed by Jeff Claeys (Elstudiocr.com). Mastered by Interval Mastering. 2022
