RAqS ft. Electro Tarab Classical String Trio and Haykal Hon

RAqS is a collective of event planners/makers with a mission to empower underground and contemporary arts, presenting live shows and audiovisual performances fused in club and festival culture, full of Levantine (Ash-Shaam) chants, rhythms from the MENA region and abroad, Tarab music and Andalusian classics - in ambient and electronic music styles.

As part of their first new artists' residency show, RAqS present Electro Tarab Classical String Trio, Haykal and a surprise DJ set. Warming this winter night with an electronic and classical mash-up of heavy beats, distorted strings and lots of bass, the Electro Tarab Classical String Trio will re-imagine Hello Psychaleppo's top and unreleased tracks. Bringing his freestyle lyrical approach to Amsterdam for the first time, Ramallah-based Palestinian rapper and electronic music producer Haykal utilises grime, rap and other music genres to contemplate the social reality of his roots, city and surroundings.
