Sanam is a free-rock post-folk sextet consisting of Sandy Chamoun, Antonio Hajj Moussa, Farah Kaddour, Anthony Sahyoun, Pascal Semerdjian and Marwan Tohme. The group first formed as part of a performance with Hans Joachim Irmler from German experimental group Faust at the Irtijal music festival. Their music and performances are akin to a ritual, a marriage and an exorcism of traditional Egyptian songs/Arabic poetry and improvised rock, free jazz and noise. They recorded their debut album 'Aykathani Malakonin' in the village of Saqi Reshmaya, which was then mixed by Radwan Ghazi Mounmeh (Jerusalem In My Heart).
