The genesis of the Munma project dates back to the summer of 2006 and Israel’s deadly war on Lebanon – Nawfal created sonic alter-ego Munma as an aural response of sorts to the drama unfolding at the time, producing and releasing three albums in quick succession for Lebanese imprint Incognito. Between 2012 and 2014, Munma composed and produced two highly successful collaborations with Lebanese poet and hip-hop artist El Rass. Unveiling the Hidden (Ruptured, 2012) and Adam, Darwin & the Penguin (self-released, 2014) explored the darker sides of rap and hip-hop, reconfiguring the genre to include elements of bass and electronica, in a manner akin to sorely-missed UK duo Kode9 & The Spaceape. Nawfal’s predilection for dubstep and grime had begun as early as 2010, when he created short-lived dubstep duo Index/Left in partnership with Ziad Moukarzel. Munma's album Three Voices was released to critical acclaim in 2016. Revolving around an array of spoken word recordings of personal texts from various writers that Nawfal commissioned for the process, these studio recordings were built upon with narrative-aiding musical beds, at times incorporating traditional Middle Eastern sounding samples (“Cadavre Exquis”). Between 2012 and 2016, Nawfal released several full-length albums for Berlin-based label Syrphe. These included a collaboration with Lebanese electronic producer Liliane Chlela, a duo with Kirdec entitled Tasjiil Moujahed, and Elyse Tabet’s first solo album as Litter.
