‍Khyoot (خيوط) is the Arabic plural of kheet, meaning thread, fine cord, filament, or string.

In the (more poetic) context of the album's songs, the word khyoot often refers to the hidden connections behind what is visible—filaments that stretch through space and link us to a powerful and magical source. These are the threads we try to hold onto day after day, like a key to ourselves, to transcending reality, to creation. They point the way to a faith in something greater than ourselves, in the unseen that is nevertheless deeply rooted within us.

With Khyoot, the Tunisian-born singer-songwriter returns to his first loves: a deeply folk-inspired album, a collection of luminous songs written for two voices. Jawhar's voice, at times ethereal and at others earthy, intertwines gracefully and delicately with AZA’s. He is also joined by his trusted collaborators, pianist Eric Bribosia and multi-instrumentalist Yannick Dupont.
