Wildly popular across the Middle East, 47Soul is the eclectic electro Arabic dabke band formed in Jordan in 2013 featuring four musicians from within Palestine and the diaspora: Z the People (vocals, synths), El Far3i (darouka, Mc/Vocals), Walaa Sbeit (percussion, Mc/vocals) and El Jehaz (guitar, vocals).
They self-proclaimed shamstep group have just announced the August 2020 release of their latest studio album, Semitics, and with it a new single off the album, 'Dabke System’. It's an infectious, high energy track dedicated to all Dabke dancers around the world. Verses sway from English to Arabic with a kind-of telling-off of the political powers that be, mixing trip-hop and breakbeat with traditional Levantine dabke. The band have also teased a loopy-looking new video, which should be released this month. Stay tuned. Follow 47 Soul on Instagram and Facebook.
