Anas is a cheerful young man. You wouldn't even dream of him fleeing three years ago. He laughs at himself, is at peace with his life. The slim giant is the head of the Syrian band Khebez Dawle (pronounce: 'Kewess 'Daule). Her name means as much as bread from the state. The band's first CD, "Khebez Dawle", is not exciting because it has a refugee bonus, but because it combines moments of experimental and sometimes quite hard rock with Arabic music in a gripping and absolutely unusual way, without ever falling into the trap of any world music ecstasy.
