El Khat

April 16 at 8:30pm

At Blue LLama Jazz Club and Restaurant

Old Fourth Ward, Ann Arbor

"the music is not background music, it's an experience"
Instruments built from scrap metal and wood
Complimentary champagne for celebrations

El Khat rebuilds Yemeni tradition from scratch, literally. The trio crafts their own instruments from scrap metal and wood, then channels Arabic percussion through a minimalist, war-scarred lens. It's ancient music reimagined by hands that had to invent their own tools.
