This month's episode of We Don't Stop, We Won't Stop is special. I'm joined by composer and musician Rafet sharing a soundscape of environmental recordings captured in Miniara Lebanon complimenting the debut of his thematic release 'You Are In the Embrace of the History' via @researchrecords

Expect ambient winding trails through olive groves, Teta's wise words, and a body of work that is personal; sighting connection to a land, spirit and devotion to a holy other.

WEDON'TSTOPWEWON'TSTOP [EPISODE 14] Ft. Rafet - Radio AlHara

Back with the sixteenth instalment of We Don’t Stop, We Won’t Stop on @radioalhara We Don’t Stop, We Won’t Stop celebrates the debut release from Berlin-based Syrian musician @khaledkurbeh on @researchrecords. Likulli Fadāin Eqāéh marks Khaled’s return after seven years, weaving four years of sonic explorations through his practice of muhawalāt [attempts, variations] and hawāmesh [margins] - gestures and footnotes from everyday life, a true masterpiece.

The first half features Khaled’s tapestry of sound, departing from his acoustic roots toward new experimental territories. The second half is curated by @maryossyawish, Chaldean Iraqi artist and founder of @researchrecords - whose lawless approach draws on heritage and abstraction through 15 years of sonic exploration.

Together they present a journey through margins and attempts, celebrating the release that bridges Syrian musical tradition with contemporary practice.

I highly recommend immersing yourself in Khaled's latest release available here: https://khaledkurbeh.bandcamp.com/album/likulli-fad-in-eq-h
