In 2019, El Khat began honing their sound in garages and warehouses. Experimenting with DIY, self-made instruments as an expression of a minimalist life philosophy—while remaining loyal to traditional Yemeni percussive roots—the three-piece developed a unique Arabic-Yemeni style. Although their detachment from any nation or flag is a driving force behind the group, the heart of their music and heritage remains deeply rooted in Yemeni culture. The constant divisions created by war and migration have given rise to a reassembled identity, one that resonates strongly throughout El Khat’s music. With three albums behind and a fourth to be released in 2026, El Khat continue to forge a sound that bridges past and present—keeping Yemeni culture alive while reimagining its future.
