But, damn, these guys have a massive and wicked sound that attacks your senses into a mental awakening. Hayao Miyazaki is often referred to as The Japanese Walt Disney, a title that he hates, which is why I am not going to say that Za’ed Na’es, to me, are the Jordanian Massive Attack. To sum up what I think of the electronic trio, I will use the following comparison. This haunting piece is a live cover of Sabah Fakhri’s original. I was very excited to meet Za’ed Na’es who, as a band, had me at the first utterance of the sentence “Ya Jarha Galbi,” by the one and only Enas Al Said, an amazing vocalist. Short of breath, I ascended the stairs that led to the smoker’s section at the café, and shook hands with Members, Ammar Urabi (drums and percussion), and Amjad Shahrour (bass, guitar and vocals).īasel Naouri (trumpet, midi and keyboards) was traveling. I am on my way,” I answered, fast on my feet as I returned to the cafe.
After a couple of attempts to call the guys, to no avail I got a call from one of them. I run out of telephone credit, so I had to rush to the closest supermarket. There, I could not find the two band members of Za’ed Na’es who were available for an interview.
There was, though, a moment of utmost embarrassment as I arrived to the Turtle Green Café which sounds like a tavern from a Tolkien book. No behind-the-scenes with the band as they recorded their next haunting piece. No ascending and descending lights from a state of the art sound mixer owned by a flamboyant sound engineer. No moments of euphoric unraveling as a musical piece was arranged and mixed. There were no extensive recording sessions to attend.
