Alif is the collective sound of five musicians at the forefront of independent music in the Arab world. Conceived in 2012 and taking it's name from the first letter of the Arabic alphabet, Alif features Khyam Allami (oud), Tamer Abu Ghazaleh (vocals and buzuq), Bashar Farran (bass), Maurice Louca (keys and electronics), and Khaled Yassine (drums and percussion). Their self-produced debut, Aynama-Rtama (Wherever It Falls) is a reflection of it's time and environment. Recorded between Beirut and C.
