Suoni | Sanam, the art of living and surviving in Beirut

Interview by Alain Brunet

Additional Information

Saturday evening at the Sala Rossa, Suoni Per Il Popolo welcome Sanam, an unclassifiable group combining post rock, noise, ambient, Arab classical music and more. Sandy Chamoun (vocals), Antonio Elhatt Moussa (bass and electronics) , Farah Kaddour (bouzouk), Anthony Sayoun (guitars, electronics), Pascal Semerdjian (drums), Marwan Tohme (guitars) will join their friend and fellow musician Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Jerusalem in my Heart) on stage, before recording new material at Hotel2Tango, home of the Constellation label. The famous label will be Sanam’s for an album to be released next September. Here, we talk about creating in real time under Israeli missiles, continuing the process while resisting this appalling adversity. A most instructive interview for us privileged Westerners.
