El Khat

In 2019, El Khat began honing their sound in garages and warehouses. Experimenting with DIY, self-made instruments as an expression of a minimalist life philosophy—while remaining loyal to traditional Yemeni percussive roots—the three-piece developed a unique Arabic-Yemeni style. With three albums behind and a fourth to be released in 2026, El Khat continues to forge a sound that bridges past and present—keeping Yemeni culture alive while reimagining its future.

“El Khat make joyful clatter...everything is recycled metal, plastic or wood, all coming together in a funeral march that sounds like a huge, disgruntled anima shaking itself into life” ★★★★ Financial Times
