Description
Out Of Nations is a dream for a future world where humanity comes before nationality. Lety, Jonas, Christian, Ayman, Charis, Fabian and Khalil connected on a musical level before realizing that each one of them carried a different passport. The band breathes new life into familiar genres by playing original, danceable World Music rooted in pop, funk & jazz.
The melodies were written between NYC, Cairo, Beirut, and Berlin by Lety, a reeds player and composer born to Egyptian and Mexican immigrant parents in suburban America. Lety was inspired by experiences living in the USA, Europe, and Middle East from 2010-2018 and witnessing global waves of increased xenophobia, border security and violence she viewed as obstacles against people's ability to travel, live, and think "Out Of Nations".
She and producer Khalil Chahine developed album tracks that each tell part of a global story of music with a modern sound, taking inspiration from their Arab and Latin heritage and the pop-classic, funk, rock, electronic, and jazz artists that were always spinning in the background.
