Moses Snake is the first original track of "Kham Quartet".
Kham in Arabic means “Raw” and the raw material of the nay (Sugarcane) inspired Faris with an artistic approach that explores the ultimate and innate performance potential of this minimal instrument, where he took this as a basis to form the “Kham Quartet “in 2023, consisting of Australian Jazz Harpist Tara Minton, Italian Jazz Singer Germana La Sorsa and British-Nigerian Percussionist Richard Olatunde. "Raw" for Faris is the belief and full investment in the possibilities that can be developed from any idea, material or even a human being, as this is reflected in Ishaq’s main vocation as a music therapist. The quartet’s members are distinguished by masterful and diverse musical artistry in world music cultures, especially jazz, Middle Eastern and African music, inspiring an innovative dialogue between four ancient instruments.
