The Shadow Band is an Arabic Free Groove quartet that formed in the wake of the Gaza genocide to perform at various events and fundraisers with live compositions. They are fueled by the spirit of improvisation as an ode to liberation and resistance. The group draws from Arabic taksim, Arab-Furutism, dub, and free jazz, and blends these with grooves inspired
by a number of traditions around the world. This record was improvised in one evening in
Oakland, California in a studio space designedfor healing and restoration.

Featuring:
Naima Shalhoub (keyboards, voice), Tarik “Excentrik” Kazaleh (guitar, oud, buzuk), Chris Trinidad (bass guitar, synth bass), Aaron Kierbel (drum set, percussion).
