Description

26. Posted by 1 site, On Bandcamp. Ghost FM Follow Kaan Wafi describes himself as a Syrian music producer in exile on his Twitter and has. on Oct 11th, 2015 →.

Sophisticated, Classical, Jazz and Ethnic oriented electronic music.

Kaan Wafi is Syrian music producer based in Berlin. In September 2015, Wafi self-released his debut album Pieces From Exile in Berlin, Germany, where he is currently based. The music combines traditional Syrian music with Dilla-influenced beats and jazz. His music is also featured on sites such as Mideast Tunes.

Wafi’s album Pieces From Exile is a pastiche of clips from Syrian activists and survivors of war mixed with hip hop beats and samples from traditional Syrian music. The album was done in memory of those lost, abducted and displaced by the war. The album’s dreamy sound creates a sense of nostalgia relatable to any exiled person – looking back and going through memories of a homeland devastated by war, violence, poverty. Dreams of change on hold, rivers of people leaving the country to find the doors already closed before them. Darwish is echoing everywhere – The Earth is closing on us, pushing.

In September, Kaan self-released his debut album, Pieces From Exile, which combines traditional Syrian music with Dilla-influenced hip-hop beats and jazz. Inspired by projects such as Saqi Books' 2014's Syria Speaks anthology, which featured over fifty Syrian artists and writers sharing their experiences of the violence in the country, Kaan recorded Pieces From Exile to express his own feelings of displacement and speak out against the atrocities committed by the tyrannical Assad regime. Kaan Wafi is a pseudonym. He is reluctant to give out his given name, much of his backstory, or any other personal information that could result in retaliation to family members who are still in Syria.
