about

Malayeen is the trio of Lebanese musicians Raed Yassin (a founding member of 'A' Trio, one of Lebanon’s most renowned free improv outfits), Charbel Haber (a former member of experimental rock bands Scrambled Eggs, XEFM and BAO), and Khaled Yassine (a former member of Tunisian oud player Anouar Brahem’s oriental jazz ensemble).

Malayeen was born from Yassin and Haber's love for the music of quintessential Egyptian guitarist Omar Khorshid, and their desire to create a contemporary trio that would study, revisit and modernize his music, and bring it full circle into the 21st century. Master percussionist Khaled Yassine was added to the project at a later phase, creating in the process a Lebanese experimental “supergroup” of sorts.

The final result consists of original and unique trio music, as the 3 musicians’ varied backgrounds collide and coalesce in subdued and restrained fashion, not actually playing Khorshid's music, but inspiring themselves from the cult guitarist’s genius to create something completely new, modern and unexpected.

Anthology Of Contemporary Music From Africa Continent
by Various Artists

supported by 6 fans who also own “Malayeen”

The latest installment of USG's music study brings fourth a wondrously bizarre, and enigmatic amalgamation of styles and influences. The artists present here really shine with their unique and mystifying musical experimentation. From a mix of traditional African musical influences, Islamic musical practices, and some just outright otherworldly and highly imaginative compositions Anthology of contemporary music from Africa continent is another USG survey gem, and a must have compilation album.
