«Their arabic electro-folk fascinates people around the world» wrote the Tagesanzeiger recently. The band formed in 2015, when fate united Ameen from Syria and Thorben from Germany in Hamburg. Blending beautiful Arabic poetry, melodramatic tunes, and traditional folk songs with downbeat deep house, dub, and hip hop, Ameen’s voice in combination with Thorben’s dexterity on the piano, synthesizers, and percussions, creates a transcending and incredibly liberating atmosphere on the dancefloor.
After releasing Rima, FIRAQ, and numerous EPs, Ameen and Thorben are back with Masrahiya, i.e., a theater play that unfolds in three acts, where tragedy, politics, and irony are seamlessly woven together.. Using the album's literal meaning, Ameen and Thorben play with the boundaries of reality and fiction.
