Discover the next generation of Arab artists redefining the region’s sound through a fusion of contemporary genres and live Arabic instrumentation

Isadora is a pharaoh brought to life – here to make compassion exciting and altruism cool. Her connection to her Egyptian roots has touched the hearts of millions who can relate to her story through music.

Vincent J is the magical yet down to earth prince striving for vtopia. Through vulnerability and catharsis, he connects with the people that he’ll lead to vtopia with him.

Layal is an Egyptian artist based in London. Her music is a form of self-expression before anything else. Rooted in the sounds of Cairo and shaped by a wide range of global influences, her work resists easy categorisation, blending instruments and genres in a way that feels instinctive rather than strategic.

Awadh is a Yemeni-British rapper who lives by example. His persistence in his craft is driven by passion, joy, and a deep desire of mastery.

Rhea Kattan is a Lebanese singer, songwriter, and drummer. She’s the odd one out. She lives in a realistic world with the purpose to challenge the boundaries of what sets us apart as people.

The evening is presented by SWANA records and Marsm UK in collaboration with Grand Junction, as part of the Right Here, Right Now programme, supported by the DCMS and Arts Council England (Supporting Grassroots Music fund).
