Sofiane Saidi

The new project “of the prince of raï 2.O”? Electronic solo! This label that the press has given him makes him laugh. Growing up in Algeria, arriving in Paris 30 years ago, Sofiane Saidi continues to explore new bridges between oriental roots and deeper, more electronic grooves. His brand new project is called Wahdi, “all alone” in Arabic. And promises, live, “a nighttime experience, a subversive exploration, a charge of erotic transgression, the raï soul in an electronic body.”

Zenobia

Zenobia incorporates rhythms and groovy electronic productions along with popular Syrian and Palestinian Dabke and in addition to Egyptian beats and atmosphere.
The group which was formed in Haifa was inspired by Zenobia, the Queen of Palmyra, who lived and ruled the Levant region and Egypt in the third century AD.

Rust Duo

Rust is a dynamic duo whose music blends the Arabic heritage of melody and poetry with modern electronic beats.
Combining elements of Arabic music with contemporary production and hypnotic vocals, Rust draws influence from the older generation of musical rebels, aiming to bridge the gap between legacy and modernity.
The Beirut-based project creates captivating soundscapes that combine the beauty of Arabic tunes and the pulsing rhythms of electronic music

Ashkara

ASHKARA, the improvisaƟonal unit of Faraj Hanna, Khaled Yassine and Khaled Omran, is a live music experience that draws from the hypnoƟc roots of tarab and infuses it with
the high energy of dabke.
The trio exploded onto the Beirut scene late last year with their electrifying mix of psychedelic shaabi & heavy dance grooves. The rhythm secƟon is held down by Khaled Omran on bass and Khaled Yassine on drums & percussion, while Faraj Hanna soars with his electric buzuk to improvised heights that sƟr the spirit, the heart & the booty.
