About the artists,

Bu Nasser Touffar AKA Naserdine Al Touffar, is a lebsanese writer and a rapper originally from Baalbek who raises his voice by singing to break the silence of a marginalized society, which the state has persisted in impoverishing and silencing it. His songs and writings were used as anthems in the Lebanese popular demonstrations and protests, the latest of which was the revolution of 17 october 2019.

Bu Nasser's project began in 2009 with the release of Touffar's album "The Companions of the Land '', followed by several solo and Collaborations with others who share the hope, questions, revolution and musical passion of rap performers and music producers. Some of them were collected in the album "Bu Nasser - Tatlit '' in 2014, followed by successive new musical releases, the last of which was "Tar" in collaboration with Hello Psychaleppo.


Hailing from one of the most mystical and musically rich cities in the Levant. Hello Psychaleppo is deeply rooted in Arabic music tradition, captivating listeners with melodic strains of Tarab threaded seamlessly together with the convoluted sounds of electronic music.

Hello Psychaleppoʼs compelling visual presentation is integral to the live experience that engages the soul and moves the body. Hello Psychaleppo is the brain child of Aleppian music producer and visual artist Samer Saem Eldahr.

Hello Psychaleppo has released three full albums, ‘Gool Lʼahʼ (2013), ʼHA!ʼ (2014) and ‘Toyourʼ (2017) creating a journey for listeners into the world of Arabic melodies, elaborate arrangements, and cathartic dance music.

Raqs

Raqs is the word for “dance” in Arabic and many more accents, In 2017 the initiative “RAqS” was born to empower the contemporary Levantine (Ash-Shaam) arts, and to gather a community of expressionists who want to live with joy, understand the similarities, differences and oneness of each other, presenting live performances fused in club culture, chants and storytelling, Tarab rhythms and Andalusian classics in ambient and electronic music styles with the intention of spreading the independent music scene of the levant region and its mergers, organising and facilitating encounters and collaborations, both physical and virtual, in which brainstorming and the exchange of musical experiences within an intellectual framework are central. We find pleasure in sharing musical and visual experiences for art appreciators - with the help of all your minds, souls and body dance.
