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 إعكس ثقافة (Converse Culture).[5][6] 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.
