JASAD جَسَد (Arabic for “Body”) is the new album by Palestinian Nay virtuoso and percussionist Faris Ishaq, a breath-driven manifesto reimagining the Nay – a Middle Eastern flute with a 5,000-year history – as a contemporary, self-sustained acoustic landscape.
Palestinian composer and viola soloist Samer Rashed returns to London with Strings of the Levant, blending Arabic maqam, Sahara-inspired rhythms and jazz improvisation. Featuring eight original works, the project explores identity and cultural dialogue through cinematic, emotionally rich performances rooted in Levantine musical traditions.
Zied Zouari and Imed Alibi unite as Duo Safar for an intimate musical journey at Kings Place, blending Arabic classical traditions, jazz and Mediterranean rhythms. Virtuosic violin, intricate percussion and refined improvisation create a deeply expressive performance rooted in North African and Mediterranean musical heritage.
