Avant-rock, psych, kraut, elektronisk, goth, jazz og improv sat sammen med traditionel, egyptisk sang og moderne, arabisk poesi. Det er det vidunderlige sammensurium der møder dig til en koncert med SANAM. Sekstetten er vokset ud af Beiruts sprudlende DIY-scene, og under en tumultarisk tid for Libanon. Deres historie begynder i 2021 under Irtijal, en musikfestival i Beirut, hvor gruppen blev inviteret til at optræde sammen med Hans Joachim Irmler fra det hæderkronede, tyske krautrock-band Faust. Siden live-optog de deres debutalbum, ‘Aykathani Malakon صنم - أيقظني ملاكٌ’, som blev rost for det, som SANAM nu er kendt for: At bringe arabisk folklore i dialog med eksperimenterende musikalske genrer.
Musikalsk set har medlemmerne af SANAM ret forskellige baggrunde, og bånd til andre indflydelsesrige, libanesiske bands som Kinematik, Postcards, Al Rahel al Kabir og Oviid. Bandet består af Sandy Chamoun på vokal, Antonio Hajj på bas, Farah Kaddour på streng-instrumentet buzuq, Anthony Sahyoun på guitar og synth, Pascal Semerdjian på trommer og Marwan Tohme på guitar. Siden debutens udgivelse har SANAM sendt yderligere to plader på gaden, en live-optagelse fra Café OTO i London og ‘Sametou Sawtan’ i september 2025. De seneste år har man desuden kunnet opleve dem på festivalen Le Guess Who i Holland, Feeërieën i Belgien og Roskilde Festival i 2025. Kom med, og dyk ned i SANAMs arabiske folklore-alkymi sammen med os!
Sagt om SANAM:
“A gritty blend of noise rock, ambient textures and Arabic forms that cast the traditional material in a visceral new context" – Om albummet Aykathani Malakon صنم - أيقظني ملاكٌ’ – The Wire
"Psychedelic guitar swirl, Arabic lyrics and pounding drums cohere to create a loud and lively eight tracks, with highlight "Harik" using singer Sandy Chamoun’s gasping vocalisations as punctuating rhythm." - Om albummet ‘Sametou Sawtan’, The Guardian

In English:
SANAM is almost emblematic of Beirut’s vibrant DIY scene and has become known for bringing Arabic folklore into dialogue with experimental musical genres. Come join us as we dive into the hypnotic soundscapes of SANAM!
Avant-rock, psych, kraut, electronic, goth, jazz, and improv intertwined with traditional Egyptian song and modern Arabic poetry – that’s the marvelous hotchpotch that awaits you at a SANAM concert. The sextet emerged from Beirut’s vibrant DIY scene during a tumultuous period in Lebanon’s history. Their story began in 2021 at Irtijal, a music festival in Beirut, where the group was invited to perform with Hans Joachim Irmler of the legendary German krautrock band Faust. They later recorded their debut album ‘Aykathani Malakon ‘صنم - أيقظني ملاكٌ, which was praised for exactly what SANAM has since become known for: bringing Arabic folklore into conversation with experimental music genres.
Musically, the members of SANAM come from diverse backgrounds and have ties to other influential Lebanese bands such as Kinematik, Postcards, Al Rahel al Kabir, and Oviid. The band consists of Sandy Chamoun on vocals, Antonio Hajj on bass, Farah Kaddour on the string instrument buzuq, Anthony Sahyoun on guitar and synth, Pascal Semerdjian on drums, and Marwan Tohme on guitar. Since their debut, SANAM have released two more records – a live recording from Café OTO in London and ‘Sametou Sawtan’ in September 2025. In recent years, they’ve also appeared at festivals such as Le Guess Who in the Netherlands, Feeërieën in Belgium, and Roskilde Festival in 2025. Come along and immerse yourself in SANAM’s alchemical Arabic folklore!
