Zenobia offers electronics from Haifa (Palestina) – debut EP out now
Zenobia is an electronic music duo from Haifa. The band incorporates Arabic pop melodies of the Levant area passing through Palestine down to North Africa with electronic beats.
The duo has now released their self-titled debut EP. Since their formation the band also started performing in 2018, and has already appeared in the Middle East, Paris, Berlin, London, Amsterdam, South Korea and Brazil.
Zenobia consists of Nasser Halahlih, a pioneer who has been at the core of the scene since its early days, and keyboardist Isam Elias. Zenobia’s self-titled debut EP was produced in the band’s studio in Shefa Amr (a small town situated between Haifa and Nazareth), mixed in Paris by Acid Arab, and is being released in April on Acid Arab Records, the French crew’s imprint hosted by Crammed Discs. Zenobia are now signed to the label, and their “RST” album is currently in the making.
Listen to the debut EP below.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
The donations are safely powered by Paypal.
