Ashkara LIVE at KED rooftop

ASHKARA, the improvisational unit of Faraj Hanna, Khaled Yassine and Khaled Omran, is a live music experience that draws from the

hypnotic roots of tarab and infuses it with the high energy of dabke.

The trio exploded onto the Beirut scene years back with their electrifying mix of psychedelic shaabi & heavy dance grooves. 

The rhythm section is held down by Khaled Omran on bass and Khaled Yassine on drums & percussion, while Faraj Hanna soars with his

electric buzuk to improvised heights that stir the spirit, the heart & the booty.

Setting the tone for the evening is the talented Nadine M. نَدين م  is a writer, co-founder of Shatr Poetics Collective in Beirut, and works in

education development. Music has always been the driver behind every creative and artistic endeavor. NadineM.’s longer, deeper sets

explore a wide variety of genres and spectrums of experimental and dance music. For the bar or dancefloor, her soft spot has always been

for groovy 90s and 2000s beats with a new fondness for the emerging alternative Arabic hip-hop and rap scene. She actively and

consistently digs in different cities around the world for new music to grow her knowledge and collection.
