MANOS
“I talk to myself, looking for answers. When I can't find them, I turn my thoughts into songs that tell my story.”
Manos is a Palestinian artist from Akka, and a self-taught musician who began making music in 2012. His sound blends hip-hop with a range of other genres, creating a style that’s emotional, experimental, and deeply personal. With reflective lyrics and atmospheric production, his music often explores the tension between chaos and clarity, giving voice to the complexities of inner life and identity.
He released his debut single Tayeh in 2019, which received unexpected praise and quickly caught the attention of listeners. Rather than rushing to follow it up, Manos chose to step away from the spotlight. In late 2024, he made a powerful return with Njumi, a cinematic comeback that introduced a more mature and focused version of his sound, reigniting interest in his work.
DEBUT album
Infisam, Manos’ debut album, is a raw exploration of duality—light and dark, strength and vulnerability, clarity and confusion. Drawing from personal experiences, the project delves into the emotional push and pull of identity and inner conflict. With each track, Manos pieces together a fractured self, navigating existential questions and emotional extremes. Enfisam captures the tension between two sides of the same soul. Set to release in September, the album is both deeply personal and universally resonant, inviting listeners to reflect on their own inner worlds.

Outro
So far, Manos has released four singles, all leading up to his debut album Infisam, set to drop this September. The album explores identity, inner conflict, and the struggle to find hope. While Tayeh and Njumi reflect self-doubt and dream-chasing, the upcoming track Mkhaddar—a blend of trance and deep house—reveals a darker, more daring side. Enfisam is a personal journey through a divided self, offering a raw and relatable story for anyone navigating their own inner battles.
