Marsm presents the return of the ever-loved Bahiyya, a rapturous revival of revolutionary Egyptian musicians such as Sayyed Darwish, Sheikh Imam and Zakariyya Ahmad.

 

Bahiyya is set to deliver a revolutionary Egyptian musical night in London. Reviving some of the greatest Arabic heritage and folk music, they infuse their vibrant, reimagined interpretations with both sarcasm and deep philosophy—all with revolutionary enthusiasm. Their performance is layered with rich, innovative arrangements, blending oud, violin, electric guitar, bass, and percussion in striking contrast. Inspired by the 1970s student movement and their diverse musical influences, Bahiyya takes listeners on a fantastical journey of Arabic music, peppered with Jazz and Funk flavors, and brought to life with a captivating stage presence.

Since their foundation, Bahiyya has taken their sound throughout Egypt and the Arab World performing at Al-Fann Midan Festival (Art is a Square), launching the first two editions of 3alganoob (the first camping music festival in Egypt), opening the Dayra Plugged in Festival in South Sinai, headlining concerts in Lebanon and Jordan as well as regularly performing to throngs of crowds at the renowned Cairo Jazz Club.
