RAFFALLAFFAL

Pronounced "RAW FALAFEL", this imaginary band had they ever banded would have been a fairly recent Middle Eastern Heavy Metal band from just outside Baghdad, Iraq. Their sound was something like a contemporary cross between Rage Against The Machine & A Tribe Called Quest. All 5 members of the group were Army-brats of American GIs that married local women from Baghdad. The unusual pairing of political metal/hard rock and lyricism of hip hop infused beats created a dynamic range that truly speaks of daily life for Elder Generation Z youth. Raffallaffal would have brought the house down with sick riffs and poignant slice of life raps.
