Akher Zapheer (Arabic: أخِر زَفير‎ meaning Last Exhalation) is a Jordanian Grunge Punk, Arabic Rock band from Amman, Jordan, formed in late 2007.[1][2][3][4]

Background

Akher Zapheer is an Arabic rock band based in Amman, Jordan, formed in 2007 by Basem Sayej.

Akher Zapheer's debut album was released in 2012 and is titled عكس ثقافة (Converse Culture).[5][6] It was produced by Sari Abuladel and contains 11 songs including their hit singles "Akherto Lahen Hazeen" (اخرتو لحن حزين), "Lailee Tal" (ليلي طال).[7][8] and "Arba' Sneen" (أربع سنين) They were once featured in an Egyptian TV show. They represent a growing musical taste in Amman.[9][10][11] [12]

The band took a break between 2013 and 2016 due to Basem’s engagement outside of Jordan, however it reformed now with 3 new members that replaced the former ones to start promoting for their new album “Emm El Mousiqa” that will be launched soon this summer.

The songs are written by Basem Sayej and the lyrics are in Arabic. [13][14] [15]
