Ruptured is very proud to announce Sawt El Doumouh (The Sound of Tears), the second solo album by Beirut-based artist, singer, and actor Sandy Chamoun @sandy_chamoun, out June 5 on Ruptured @rupturedthelabel.

Many of you will know Sandy through SANAM @sanam.music_, Ghadr, and The Great Departed. Across these projects, as well as her solo work, she has long approached voice as something both musical and social, drawing from folk traditions, satire, theater, and collective performance practices from Lebanon and the Arab world.

Written between 2023 and 2025, Sawt El Doumouh took shape during the recent war in Lebanon. The record brings together Tarab, Sardinian Cantu, sparse electronics, and percussion in a set of songs centered on expression under pressure and on what can still be voiced in difficult conditions.

The album was produced by Sandy Chamoun and Anthony Sahyoun @anthony____sahyoun, who also handled synths and electronics. Percussion throughout the record is by Ali Hout @the_hout_ali, with buzuq by Abed Kobeissy @abed_kobeissy on “Ataba.” It was recorded and mixed by Anthony Sahyoun at Tunefork Studios @tuneforkstudios in Beirut and mastered by Heba Kadry @heba_kadry in New York.

The accompanying one-sheet was written by Daryl Worthington @daryl.worthington, whose care toward this record meant a great deal to us.

We’re also grateful to Radwan Ghazi Moumneh @radwanghazimoumneh for listening closely to the test pressings and for his advice throughout.

Out today! SANAM: Sametou Sawtan (CST186)

SANAM’s second album Sametou Sawtan is released worldwide today on Constellation. Available now on 180g vinyl LP, CD in custom mini-gatefold jacket, and digital download/streaming. Orders are shipping from Bandcamp and cstrecords.com, and the record is streaming everywhere.

Recorded in August 2024 at La Frette Studios near Paris with Radwan Ghazi Moumneh @radwanghazimoumneh, and mastered by @heba_kadry, Sametou Sawtan documents SANAM’s expansion as a six-piece ensemble working across disciplines and traditions.

The album artwork and design are by Omar Khouri and Farah Fayyad @farahfayyad.

SANAM are:
Sandy Chamoun @sandy_chamoun - vocals
Farah Kaddour @farah.kad - buzuq
Anthony Sahyoun @anthony____sahyoun – guitar, electronics
Marwan Tohme @marwantohme – guitar, electronics
Antonio Hajj @antniohaj.wav - bass
Pascal Semerdjian @pas_makdous – drums, percussion

Across eight tracks, SANAM move through ritual song, collective improvisation, and dense rhythmic interplay, tracing shared memory while carving new sonic terrain.

Advance singles “Harik” and “Habibon”, accompanied by videos directed by Joe Saade @joesaa and Mizyed Azrai @mizyedazrai, offered glimpses of the group’s approach. Sametou Sawtan presents the complete scope of this work: raw and refined, urgent and resonant.

“Confrontational, progressive and at times deeply beautiful, SANAM’s music is a thrilling example of the magic that can come from chaos.” - Tom Pinnock, @uncut_magazine 8/10

“An intense and brooding fusion of doomy post-punk, psychedelia, electronics, and free improvisation (…) SANAM’s new album Sametou Sawtan sees them moving away from unmoored group spontaneity in favour of more compact and coherent tunes.” - Daniel Spicer, The Wire @thewiremagazine

A closer look at the visual world around Sawt El Doumouh by Sandy Chamoun @sandy_chamoun.

The album artwork and design were created by Elissa Assaf @colombine____, working from photographs by Aya Saleh @ayasophiesaleh. These images feel very connected to the music; they have the same quiet intensity and sense of restraint as the record itself.

Elissa also designed a double-sided full-color lyrics insert for the vinyl edition (slides 4 and 5), which is an important extension of the record visually and materially.

The visual language around the album came together through a wider group of collaborators as well. Styling by Claudia Khachan @claudia__khachan, hair by Mark Merhi, outfits by @creativespacebeirut / @soniamelkisetian, and gloves by Yasmina Fayed @yas.mina.fayed and Elissa Assaf.

Live photo of Sandy taken by Pierre Langlois @pachaplus_02 during SANAM’s concert at Sala Rossa @lasalarossa in Montreal, June 2025.

Sawt El Doumouh was produced by Sandy Chamoun and Anthony Sahyoun @anthony____sahyoun, recorded and mixed by Sahyoun at Tunefork Studios @tuneforkstudios in Beirut, and mastered by Heba Kadry @heba_kadry.

The record will be available in full next week via Ruptured’s Bandcamp page, manufactured at Mother Tongue @mothertonguerecords with worldwide distribution by Cargo UK @cargoindependentdistribution.

Paralaxe Editions and no_stone @no_st0ne are honored to present our special guest for our fundraising evening for Lebanon: Sandy Chamoun @sandy_chamoun, Beirut-based artist and singer and founding member of SANAM @sanam.music_

May 30 @casa.montjuic

—————

Sandy Chamoun’s work moves between music, performance, and research. Her practice is shaped by an ongoing engagement with voice as a social and political medium, drawing from folk traditions, satire, and collective forms of expression.

Chamoun approaches songwriting as a space where personal and collective histories intersect, often building pieces from sparse structures that unfold through repetition, with the voice at their center.
Alongside her solo practice, she is a founding member of the political satire band The Great Departed, the free-rock, post-folk group SANAM, and the experimental trio Ghadr, alongside Anthony Sahyoun and Jad Atoui. Across these projects, Chamoun works in collaborative settings where authorship remains fluid, and roles shift in response to the music.

Sandy Chamoun’s work moves between music, performance, and research. Her practice is shaped by an ongoing engagement with voice as a social and political medium, drawing from folk traditions, satire, and collective forms of expression.

Chamoun approaches songwriting as a space where personal and collective histories intersect, often building pieces from sparse structures that unfold through repetition, with the voice at their center.

Younes 🖤

I met Younes in Tunis in 2016. I was impressed by his calmness and energy.
Years later, Ward w Shok reminded me of him.
And I think that’s really beautifulwhen sounds remind you of people and memories.

GLEO PRESENTS;

For the third installment our 90mil series, we are honoured to invite;

Ghadr - غدر

This trio is made up of three highly regarded Lebanese artists: Sandy Chamoun, Anthony Sahyoun, both members of the iconic band SANAM, alongside Jad Atoui, himself a highly regarded musician, composer, and electronic sound experimentalist in Lebanon.

Writing for this project began during a residency in 2023 and was later completed in their home city of Beirut. The work has only been performed a handful of times across Lebanon and Saudi Arabia in 2024, and Europe in 2025. This will be the first performance in Germany, and is certain to be a special one.

(@anthony____sahyoun @sandy_chamoun @jadatoui )

Aalia (dj)

Joining us for our event is one of our favourite DJs in the Berlin scene, Aalia Iraki. Rooted in emotion, storytelling, and deep listening, her sets move fluidly across genres — from downtempo and ambient textures to hypnotic percussion, breaks, and leftfield electronics — always guided by mood and feeling.

Coming up through Berlin’s DIY party culture, she has developed a warm and immersive approach to DJing, with sets that unfold patiently and intuitively. She is also the host of Within Those Four Chambers on Refuge Worldwide, a radio show exploring the relationship between music, memory, and space — where each episode inhabits a different visual setting inviting listeners into intimate, multi sensory listening journeys.

@aaliairaki

Food by Begzo

Drawn from a wide range of cultural influences, her food bridges traditional and bold flavors & prepared with intention.
We are really excited to have some beautifully made food available at 19:00 on the night.

Following the successful collaboration in 2024, we are presenting this year’s connection with the ever more progressive collective @heartnoizepromotion .

This year, we conceived the program as a highly diverse selection of three musical acts: the breathtaking Lebanese project Ghadr, moving on the edge of Bedouin contemplation and abrasive noise; the Egyptian artist @ltfll__ with his club deconstructions; and the fresh name emerging from the London grime empire, @whosnori .

Our tour with Sanam was around 12 concerts across Europe, and I couldn’t bring myself to say a word about Lebanon. It was one of the hardest weeks mentally. I felt like I’d be lying if I spoke on stage, got applause, then continued singing like nothing happened. If I opened the subject of Lebanon, the occupation of the south, and the massacres, I don’t think I would’ve been able to continue the concert.

I also don’t want to be part of the trend of shouting “cease fire now” just to feel better about ourselves while nothing really changes for the people in the South and Lebanon as a whole and in palestine.
Now back to lebanon feeling much better,at least i am not afraid i am full of rage and sadness back to reality 🤍
