"Three Voices " is the first vinyl release from Lebanese electronic Jawad Nawfal aka Munma, and the second vinyl release from Lebanon’s first alternative music label Ruptured, following radioKVM’s ‘Issrar’ in 2014.(find it in a previous post) Munma’s new album is marked by several vocal collaborations, a departure in style for this pioneer of Beirut's electronic scene. As such, the vocal element was always present in the music of #Munma, whether through radio broadcasts, samples of political speeches, recordings of musicians’ voices, and the like, but he had never actually used the human voice as an intrinsic element in his compositions. Following his successful collaboration with rapper @el_rass and other hip-hop artists from Beirut and the neighboring area (including @el_bunasser , @elfar3i i, and #Boikutt, among others), Jawad Nawfal became drawn towards the capabilities of the human voice, more specifically the reciting of poetry by a human voice, and began to integrate this element in his music process...- released June 3, 2016 - via #bandcamp I met Jawad around 2007 in Beirut and have been a fan of his music since. I have followed him from his #idmelectronica project as Munma (also collaborated with @victorbresse - with @salibanabil - and with @wajdi_elian ) to his #2step project (with @ziad_mouka ) to his #hiphopelectronica days to #modularsynth oriented electronica. He also released music with @sndtxtimg , @lilianechlela, @jadatoui, @mmechandelier, #sharifsehnaoui... and played live with @fadi_tabbal and many others. Jawad never ceases to amaze me by reinventing his own sound. and I got him to sign the record for me ;) He now goes by the name @vvvabeirut https://vv-va.bandcamp.com/ You can buy the record in #Beirut from @z.nawfal or online https://rupturedthelabel.bandcamp.com/album/three-voices Artist: Jawad Nawfal aka #vvvabeirut Album: Three Voices Track: Three Voices Label: @rupturedthelabel Illustration and design: @maya.chami Follow on Instagram @backfromthecrate. . . . #backfromthecrate #beirutcrates #jawadnawfal #vvvabeirut #threevoices #electronic #ambient #drone #vinylrecords #dustyfingers #cratedigger (at Beirut, Lebanon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRCM35msiaZ/?utm_medium=tumblr
