Bilna’es — the art and music collective run by Muqata’a, Ruanne Abou-Rahme and Basel Abbas — announce their second release, a sprawling 15-track album from Julmud, following from the group’s first musical outing from Dakn.
Hailing from Ramallah in Palestine, Julmud’s music has decorated the local scene for years. ‘Tuqoos‘ displays a vast array of the musician’s many-faceted talent, leaning in influence towards instrumental hip-hop style beats, but built from a constellation of sound sources and unusual patterns, resulting in an album that will immediately resonate with fans of Julmud’s past collaborators Muqata’a and Al Nather.
‘Tuqoos / طُقُوس’ is scheduled for release 30 March via Bilna’es. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
