Hayy Sounds 

Hayy Sounds introduces an eclectic range of musical projects from artists in search of a musical language that speaks to their identity, home and aspirations. Showcasing cross-cultural collaborations, these artists bring their nomadic roots into their sound, blending soul, jazz, electronica and improvisation to create songs that celebrate tradition and folk poetics in a contemporary and captivating way. 

Join us as we support artists from across the Middle East and Africa whose unique approach to music defies one single culture and bridges universal themes of longing, nostalgia, separation and love.

Bedouin Burger Performance & Q&A

Join us for a performance and Q&A by Bedouin Burger, a musical duo comprising of Syrian singer and composer Lynn Adib and Lebanese music producer Zeid Hamdan, who blend folk traditions of the Levant and Arabian peninsula with jazz, electronic beats and poetry from the soul. Their approach is minimalistic and intentional to allow listeners to consciously reflect on the diversity and beauty of Arabic music and to inspire a deeper appreciation of its influence on global artistic expression. 

Lynn Adib brings her classical Arabic and jazz training into the mix, creating melodies that are both soulful and experimental, while Zeid Hamdan, a pioneering force in the Lebanese indie music scene, adds layers of rich electronic textures. Their collaboration is a celebration of cross-cultural artistry and evolution that speaks to both tradition and modernity through vocals, percussion and subtle electronic programming.
