Virus2020 is the solo project of Rami Harrabi, a Tunisian artist born in 1989 in Sousse (TN), enthralled by Arab and north-African art, instruments, traditions and rituals. Harrabi is a composer, performer, sound-designer; he self published his debut album, "I don't know," in December 2021, followed by the second album "SECT", in 2022. "KHUSHUE", the third work, was published by Unexplained Sounds Group that now publishes the new and fourth album "A FROG A GUN AND A SAD MAN", a mature work in which Harrabi moves beyond the framework of experimental ambient that characterized the previous album to further explore the territory of electroacoustics, even venturing into experimental noise.
Under tha name "RIG", Harrabi also runs a trio project in collaboration with Ismail Lassoued and Ghassen Ben Brahim, and collaborates with Rim Harrabi for video projects.

"Heket, the frog goddess, symbolizing water and womanhood, has left this sad man in a state of sorrow, loneliness, and deep suffering. The frog, a constant reminder of his emotional turmoil, stands as a symbol of the complex relationship that has driven him to the edge. This sad man wavers between brief moments of hope and crushing despair, caught in a battle within himself. Some days, the glimmer of light keeps him going, while on others, the thought of a gun creeps into his mind—a symbol of escape, a dark desire to silence his pain and everything around him."

"هيكت، إلهة الضفدع، التي ترمز إلى الماء والأنوثة، تركت هذا الرجل الحزين في حالة من الحزن والوحدة والمعاناة العميقة. الضفدع، الذي يذكره باستمرار باضطرابه العاطفي، يمثل العلاقة المعقدة التي دفعته إلى حافة الانهيار. هذا الرجل الحزين يتأرجح بين لحظات قصيرة من الأمل ويأس ساحق، عالقاً في صراع داخلي. في بعض الأيام، يبقيه بريق من الضوء مستمراً، بينما في أيام أخرى، تتسلل فكرة السلاح إلى عقله - رمز للهروب، ورغبة مظلمة في إسكات ألمه وكل شيء من حوله."
