ZAED NAES

Narrowing down the group's style into a genre is almost impossible, as they bond over the desire to push musical boundaries. No strangers to the Middle Eastern underground music scene, Zaed Naes has been known to create experimental melodic performances throughout intimate venues and festivals since 2013. Developing a tight live show bolstered by wild experimentation, the group have left crowds itching for their first full length studio album that has yet to be released.

 
 
 

Fusing slithery melodies with groovy whirling synths, Zaed Naes is crafting a unique space for itself in the Middle Eastern underground music scene. With Basel Naouri on synth and trumpet, Amjad Shahrour on bass and vocals, and Ammar Urabi on electro-acousitc drums, Zaed Naes blends contemporary electronic sounds and structures with regionally-influenced Arabic styles into a unique audiovisual project that is dark yet playful, soulful yet wild. Guided by a desire to stretch existing musical and geographical boundaries, Zaed Naes cultivates its blended sound through collaborations with guest vocalists from across the Middle East.
