Rough Trade Liverpool
Book Tickets
On Saturday 25th July, LAAF will partner with Savera UK for two events at Rough Trade Liverpool. Internationally recognised percussionist,
Simona Abdallah will be welcomed to the city for an afternoon of thought-provoking conversation intertwined with Simona’s powerful performances on the darbuka, a hand-played traditional percussion instrument. BOOK TICKETS FOR THE AFTERNOON HERE.
The afternoon event will be followed by a night of exhilarating rhythms and mixes from Simona and two other powerful musicians of Arab heritage: Palestinian music producer, filmmaker and DJ, Hiba Salameh, and Jordanian sound artist, creative producer and DJ, Yasmeen Soudani (MUSYS).
In the evening the event will celebrate Simona’s virtuosity on the darbuka, an instrument traditionally dominated by men, with the acclaimed musician bringing her rhythmic energy to the stage in a powerful solo set, before showcasing her unparalleled improvisational skills performing with DJ Hiba Salameh and MUSYS.
Named by Mixmag as ‘one of the Palestinian DJs you need to know’, DJ Hiba Salameh’s electrifying sets navigate through the wide universe of electronic music blending the huge heritage of Arabic music with its counterparts from the planet’s southern hemisphere.
MUSYS plays experimental electronica shaped by nostalgia and futurist Arab themes. She has played across the country from the Jazz Cafe to Royal Albert Hall. As a sound artist, her practice explores migration, land and collective identity, drawing on archaeology, sonic cultures and imagined futures.
Venue:
Rough Trade Liverpool, 54-56 Hanover St, Liverpool L1 4AF
