Lamajamal

**Lamajamal** is a Chicago-based band serving up a spicy fusion of Middle Eastern grooves and surf-rock swagger. Known for their raucous live shows and genre-blending energy, they mix traditional instruments like the oud and darbuka with twangy surf guitars and garage-rock grit. Tracks like "Tsikago" (a cheeky nod to their hometown) and "Let’s Go Gypsy Surf!" showcase their signature style—think desert caravan meets beach party, with a side of retro psychedelic vibes. Since forming in the late 2000s, they’ve carved out a niche as purveyors of what they cheekily dub "Middle Eastern Surf Rock," perfect for fans of cross-cultural musical adventures.
