Two or The Dragon

Two or The Dragon is an experimental Lebanese duo formed by Abed Kobeissy and Ali Hout, which pulls its sonic identity from a transcultural blend of Middle Eastern sounds and contemporary electronic music. With Abed on the buzuq—an instrument somewhat akin to a lute—and Ali working with percussions, the pair forge an eerily captivating soundscape that stretches beyond the typical boundaries of genre.

The duo's works, such as "Dance Grooves for the Weary," "Dance Grooves for the Weary, Pt. 1," and "Prelude for the Triumphant Man," represent a particular narrative on human endurance and spirit. They use their compositions to examine political narratives and societal issues, while also delving into the internal struggles of the individual. Two or The Dragon manage to draw a captivating line between tradition and innovation, crafting music that resonates with the turbulent times of their region and speaks to a global audience with its emotional depth and rhythmic complexity. Their music is as much a call to action and reflection as it is a novel auditory experience, making them stand out in the rich tapestry of Middle Eastern music fusion.
