Al-Qasar and Lee Ranaldo are set to perform at Brooklyn Bowl on Thursday, September 26, 2024. Al-Qasar, a band formed by Moroccan vocalist Jaouad El Garouge and French-American producer and guitarist Thomas Attar, is known for a sound they call “Arabian fuzz.”
Their characteristic sound layers hypnotic Arabic and Berber vocals over gravelly guitars and North African instruments. Their critically acclaimed 2022 album Who Are We? features collaborations with guitarist Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra, and Sudanese singer/songwriter Alsarah (Alsarah & The Nubatones).
