Jadal: Transforming the Barren Desert Into a Musical Jungle

posted on: Apr 23, 2015

The Arab musical landscape often seems as barren as the deserts that make up the majority of their land mass. Finding a new sound in this dehydrating, sandy emptiness creates the same sense of elation as stumbling upon a nourishing oasis. Providing me with that sensation here in Egypt was none other than Jordan’s beloved Jadal, who totally owned their set at the 3alganoob Festival. Taking the time to tell me how Jadal became to be and how their unique sounds have travelled far beyond their Jordanian borders is leading front man Mahmoud Radaideh.
