About

Despite distinct musical backgrounds, MAias Alyamani and Yahai Tello’s musical paths fatefully converged in Electro MAqam and their artistic connection was instant.

Sharing a deep well of nostalgia for their homeland and for themselves in the past , they found solace in exchanging the memories and stories through music. This shared passion ignited a creative spark, a desire to revisit and reimagine their musical heritage in a modern different approach. Electro MAqam is the vibrant embodiment of this artistic collaboration. It's a project infused with homage to their roots, a tapestry woven from dreams and memories, all pulsating with the electric energy of the present.

Their vision ignited a stage in 2022 with a debut performance at the Qatar National Library, alongside the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra. The success fueled the release of their electrifying debut album, "Hadra Rave," in 2024
