About Praed Orchestra!
Raed Yassin & Paed Conca’s free jazz shaabi project bloom in Sun Ra-meets LAFMS-esque, 16-piece big band form with a roll call of esteemed players including Alan Bishop, Radwan Ghazi Moumneh, and Sam Shalabi among them. Raed Yassin and Paed Conca based their project PRAED on research between Shaabi and Mouled (traditional trance music from Egypt) and the hypnotic structures of both these genres. Repetitive beats, loud Mizmar and loads of energy, with a strong influence from psychedelic rock, free jazz and electronica. During the years in which the duo produced 4 albums and performed on an endless number of stages around the globe, PRAED started working on an ambitious expansive project: an orchestra that could transpose this study of rural and popular culture into an immense, iconic work. In autumn 2018, supported by the Sharjah Art Foundation, PRAED Orchestra! premiered “Live in Sharjah”, interpreting new material merged with some of the band’s iconic pieces.
