El-Iqaa - 1001 Fights

I was thinking of gluing a few consecutive tracks before posting this to better represent the album but kept putting it off until I found out this morning that he started following my blog.

El-Iqaa is a project of Joe Namy, a Lebanese artist based in Detroit/New York with an introspective look into the history of recorded Arabic music with respect to our displaced cultural identities. (I guess? Hes doesn’t write a great deal.)

Both his art and his music hit quite a note.

The vast majority of his work can be found through his website, olivetones where you can find links to archived episodes of his show on wynu; his art and the rest of the El-Iqaa project.
