About The Event

EL KHAT (Berlin) plays Baltimore just in time for the release of their latest album, mute. Led by a trio of diasporic musicians, El Khat brings you a retro-futuristic sound inspired by traditional Yemeni songs, contemporary grooves, and a collection of DIY instruments. The group is opened by Baltimore’s DLI!

𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗘𝗟 𝗞𝗛𝗔𝗧

Formed in the garages and warehouses of Jaffa and now based in Berlin, El Khat’s ever-expanding vision makes a defiant stand against complacency, conflict and division. Skittering drums and brass, a jagged organ, hypnotic Yemeni melodies and one-of-a-kind DIY percussion and string instruments, all meld together into an infectious, heady soundscape.

Sometimes wildly raw, sometimes lush and enveloping. Always uncompromised and adventurous.

El Khat makes joyful clatter...everything is recycled metal, plastic or wood, all coming together in a funereal march that sounds like a huge, disgruntled anima shaking itself into life. (The Financial Times)
