about

Included in Norman Records Top 50 "Nearlies" albums of 2021:
"Karkhana is an international supergroup structure consisting of six of the Middle East’s boldest experimental artists, plus a veteran American jazz percussionist. ‘Al Azraqayn’ is a scintillating double-album set that captures them at their most vivid, live at Amsterdam venue Bimhuis."
