They say like father, like son(s). Actor and musician Khaled Anam’s talents are known to all of us. And now it seems that his sons, Ammar and Komail, have taken after their father.

Their band is called The Anams and its first song, One Life, has hit the charts. It’s a very nice, groovy track with a cute little video to give that extra dose of oomph to the lyrics. Hearing the song first time, it seems as if the band of brothers is here to entertain music lovers for a long, long time. And our music industry does need fresh blood. Not the kind of blood that refuses to grow old and keep churning out the same tracks over and over.
