Cardian Matsu I was in a huge mood for dabke around the time I heard this live set and it really scratched the itch I was looking for.

One of my favorite things about this genre is how much it sounds like everyone in it is having fun coming up with all these riffs and continuations of musical sentences, like it could go on forever without ever feeling stale.

From riff to interpolation to bridge and back again, dozens of weaved segments feel like one whole track, no breathing time in between genius thoughts.

about

In 2015 & 2016, the three Iraqi musicians of Babylon Trio arrived in Belgium as refugees of the war in Iraq. keyboard player Arkan Mushtak hails from Baghdad, as well as his fellow musicians Walaa Saad (vocals) and Saif Al-Qaissy (darbouka, percussion and backing vocals). Together they play an electrified mix of contemporary Iraqi music styles, such as chobi chobi, dabke, maqam and electronic hybrids.

This is a live set recorded in September 2017 during the 1st edition of the Nuits Sonores festival in Brussels, in the BRASS venue. We thank Nuits Sonores and BRASS for their support! Also the NGHE Mediatheque for their everlasting support of cultural events for refugees and ethnic communities.

End of September 2018, the trio will release their debut album ‘Habibi.be’ on Rebel Up Records as vinyl & digital.
