Shubbak Festival: A Musical 360 Degree Revolution into the Arab World

Presented by Arab New Trends Limited, this concert opens the Shubbak festival of contemporary Arab culture with three performers from the Middle East coming together in Europe for the first time. The concert, combining DJ sets and live acts, features a blend of Lebanon's thriving electro scene, remixed traditional classics and contemporary Arab music. Zeid Hamdan is a founding father of the Lebanese underground, known for leading the bands Soapkills and Zeid and the Wings. Here he is joined by Palestinian oud and buzuk player Tamer Abu Ghazaleh and Maryam Saleh, a young singer (and actress) from Cairo.
