Zenobia offers electronics from Haifa (Palestina) – debut EP out now
Zenobia is an electronic music duo from Haifa. The band incorporates Arabic pop melodies of the Levant area passing through Palestine down to North Africa with electronic beats.
The duo has now released their self-titled debut EP. Since their formation the band also started performing in 2018, and has already appeared in the Middle East, Paris, Berlin, London, Amsterdam, South Korea and Brazil.
Zenobia consists of Nasser Halahlih, a pioneer who has been at the core of the scene since its early days, and keyboardist Isam Elias. Zenobia’s self-titled debut EP was produced in the band’s studio in Shefa Amr (a small town situated between Haifa and Nazareth), mixed in Paris by Acid Arab, and is being released in April on Acid Arab Records, the French crew’s imprint hosted by Crammed Discs. Zenobia are now signed to the label, and their “RST” album is currently in the making.
Listen to the debut EP below.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
