He took the time to get to know the culture of his grandparents, who had emigrated from Yemen to Israel in the 1950s.<\/p>\n<p>During this period, he was exposed to traditional Yemeni music and his world turned upside down. In addition to the Arabic language, he began to teach himself the building of instruments, and from this, El Khat was born. The music of this now four-piece Israeli band, with members from Poland, Morocco and Iraq, is inspired by by the music and DIY attitude that Eyal finds so appealing in Yemeni culture.<\/p>\n<p>The band name refers to Qat leaves, a stimulant commonly chewed in Yemeni culture, which in the midst of displacement and misery still provides fraternity and distraction. This also applies to the music of El Khat: melancholic and a little psychedelic, but above all, connecting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-420624 kc-title-wrap \">\n\n\t<h3 class=\"kc_title\">Where?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-155070 kc_text_block\"><p>\nOosterpark World Stage<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-640327 kc-fancy-button-wrap\">\n\t<div class=\"kc-fancy-button-inner  light-scheme-el\" data-parallax='{\"y\": 0}'>\n\t\t<a class=\"kc-btn line-link\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/8p1uduh3PTMHB93H6\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"View on Google Maps\">\n\t\t\tView on Google Maps\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-815709 kc_col-sm-4 kc_column kc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-191127 kc-parallax-el \"><div class=\"kc-parallax-wrap\" data-parallax='{\"y\": 0}' ><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-106572 kc_shortcode kc_single_image\">\n\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamroots.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/elkhat2s.jpg\" class=\"\" alt=\"\" \/>    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melancholy psychedelia from the Yemeni-Israeli DYI scene<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1902,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"class_list":["post-2734","meloo_events","type-meloo_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","meloo_event_type-past-events-en","meloo_events_cats-oosterpark-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
