"Shalfata" is an Arabic word that can roughly translate to many words depending on how it is used in a sentence. Shalfata can mean messy, splattered, and sloppy. This release marks my 5th EP out in the world, and I'm really happy with the outcome. The music on this EP comes from a special place - I hope you enjoy the Shalfata. —Hassan Abou Alam
