about

Music Video: youtu.be/PVFCCzUd8qk

An attempt to deconstruct Metal, Industrial, Experimental Hip Hop, Sludge and Tarab at the same time: With his latest album 'Barki', Maltash aspires to establish 'Post-Tarab' as a musical genre.

Maltash (Arabic: ملطش, “wicked”) is a Lebanese experimentalist, who is steadily remodelling his musical influences: Drawing from Arabic Wedding Music, Byzantine Music of the Greek Orthodox Church, the Islamic Call to Prayer and various opposite tonal languages, such as music from the Lebanese-Syrian singer George Wassouf and Ambient Drone Metal duo The Angelic Process.

‘Barki’ is an exemplary statement on how to make an artist’s outcry heard with a steady underlying dark humour that is satirical in its nature. Maltash insists on being heard by propagating Noise-Metal-Post-Tarab waves through a certain rawness that is in its core ’Barki’ (Arabic: بركي, “maybe”).

Traditionally, Tarab is a societal and communal phenomenon that lives in Levant culture. Maltash’s experimentation contradicts these elements and touches on the individual conditions that come after Tarab has been practiced. The Post-Tarab endeavours in this opus touch on the unapologetic nature of populism, the emotions that come with populism and Industrial Noise-Metal solitary.

The album sets a precedent for the Levant, bringing an obscurity to light that has lived within.

Not much hip hop in my collection, but something about MC Yallah’s delivery speaks to me. This is extremely compelling music, and while I can’t understand the lyrics the power and aggression still come through loud and clear. Lute FP
