Hiya! Am I supposed to be tagged here?

I suspect it’s one of the richest musical cultures in the world. Down to the village level there’s a such a broad range of regional styles and micro-genres.
Aïssaoua is one of the 4 main trance brotherhoods alongside Gnaoua, H’madsha and Jilala. But there are other trance styles too

最近諸般の事情で忙し過ぎて新譜は殆ど聴けてない。適当に流して聴ける過去作中心で我慢してるけど最近アルバム出したこの2組が改めてとても良くて流すつもりが思わず聴き入ってしまった。

Yara Asmar

New & Notable: A beautiful new LP from Beirut’s Yara Asmar—compositions that slowly build in volume and texture, remaining utterly hypnotic throughout.

Hey this is so good. It's a couple years old now but new to me and it's this authentic lowkey electro-tropicalia that's just out-there enough to keep me interested throughout

Check out the gorgeous review of Yara Asmar’s new album…

“…amidst the noise of reality, Yara Asmar managed to invent another space - a floating room, made of reverberations and light”

Yara Asmar, l’insomnie qui répare le monde en sons et en soupirs

Avec everyone I love is sleeping and I love them so so much, Yara Asmar transforme le bruit du monde en un chuchotement d’amour.

“I am standing on my quiet balcony, against the city that unfurls like a big sonic carpet. There is a betrayal to being alive because it means to have outlived.”

Now listening to the new album from Lebanese composer Yara Asmar. It’s oblique and highly experimental ambient music. I definitely recommend it, and I recommend reading her account of the making of the album on the Bandcamp page.

Album Review: Yara Asmar – ‘everyone I love is sleeping and i love them so so much’ : Extraordinary electro-acoustic stories crafted from simple things.

Tinkering, testing, tuning and transforming, Yara Asmar is a restlessly inquisitive multi-instrumentalist. Since her debut release on Hive Mind, ‘Home Recordings 2018-2021’ the Beirut- based musician has used music boxes and metallophones, accordion and toy pianos to sculpt her sonic narrative. It’s not Art Ensemble avant or Cage-ist experimentalism powering her practice though, the pull of miniature instrumentation comes from an emotional connection to innocence and simplicity, memories and feelings. Woven through her last two albums ‘synth waltzes and accordion laments’ from ’23 and last year’s ‘Stuttering Music…
