About
Producing a vibrant sound that continues to push their own creative boundaries, the increasingly acclaimed Les Arrivants (The Arrivals) challenge the norms of ‘Global Music.’
Les Arrivants is composed of Amichai Ben Shalev (bandoneon), Abdul-Wahab Kayyali (oud), and Hamin Honari (percussion). All making the move to Montréal in recent years, their musical collaboration mirrors the trio's individual experiences of resettlement.
Les Arrivants has released two albums: Home (2022) and Towards the Light (2024). Their first album received the 2023 Opus Prize – World Music Album of the Year from the Quebec Council of Music. With an inspired fusion of musical experience, the trio channel complex emotions into colourful sounds.
"A mighty mosaic of sounds that range from meditative to absolutely fiery.” – World Music Central
“Each is a maestro in his own right, and they take their turns to shine.” – BBC Music Magazine
