يَصْدُرُ أَلْبُومُ «Pieces of a Dream» لِلْفَرِيقِ الأُرْدُنِيِّ «Nechazz» فِي الرَّابِعِ عَشَرَ مِنْ أُغُسْطُسَ 2026. وَهٰذِهِ هِيَ الْمَرَّةُ الْأُولَى الَّتِي تُنْشَرُ فِيهَا أَغَانِي الْفَرِيقِ رَسْمِيًّا.

سَجَّلَ الْفَرِيقُ الْأَلْبُومَ فِي عَمَّانَ بَيْنَ عَامَيْ 1988 وَ1989، دَاخِلَ اسْتُودْيُو مَنْزِلِيٍّ صَغِيرٍ ذِي ثَمَانِي قَنَوَاتٍ لِلتَّسْجِيلِ. وَضَمَّ الْفَرِيقُ بَاسِمَ سَعِيدٍ وَخَلْدُونَ نَاصِرًا، وَهُمَا مُوسِيقِيَّانِ أُرْدُنِيَّانِ فِلَسْطِينِيَّا الْأَصْلِ، وَالْمُغَنِّيَ وَعَازِفَ الْغِيتَارِ الْعِرَاقِيَّ قَاسِمَ سَبُونْتْشِي.

تَجْمَعُ الْأَغَانِي بَيْنَ مُوسِيقَى السُّولِ وَالْجَازِ وَالْبُوبِ. وَكَانَ أَعْضَاءُ الْفَرِيقِ مَعْرُوفِينَ بِحَفَلَاتِهِمُ الْحَيَّةِ فِي نَادِي «Rumours» بِعَمَّانَ، لٰكِنَّ تَسْجِيلَاتِهِمْ لَمْ تُنْشَرْ فِي ذٰلِكَ الْوَقْتِ.

وَبَدَأَ مَشْرُوعُ الْإِصْدَارِ بَعْدَ الْعُثُورِ عَلَى شَرِيطِ كاسِيتٍ فِي أَرْشِيفٍ عَائِلِيٍّ. وَيُعِيدُ الْأَلْبُومُ إِلَى الْمُسْتَمِعِينَ جَانِبًا مِنْ مُوسِيقَى عَمَّانَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعْرُوفًا عَلَى نِطَاقٍ وَاسِعٍ فِي آخِرِ الثَّمَانِينِيَّاتِ.

Previously Unreleased Jordanian Album Arrives After Nearly Four Decades

The album Pieces of a Dream by the Jordanian band Nechazz is released on August 14, 2026. This is the first time that the band’s songs have been officially published.

The band recorded the album in Amman between 1988 and 1989, inside a small eight-track home studio. The group included Basim Said and Khaldoon Nasser, two Palestinian-Jordanian musicians, and the Iraqi singer and guitarist Kassim Sabounchi.

The songs combine soul, jazz, and pop music. The band members were known for their live performances at the Rumours club in Amman, but their recordings were not released at that time.

The release project began after a cassette tape was found in a family archive. The album brings listeners a side of Amman’s music that was not widely known in the late 1980s.
