Join us for an unforgettable experience with Souq El-Jum3a, a vibrant collective of immigrant musicians and artists from the Arab world. This dynamic group presents original songs that honor the essence of classical Arabic music, blending tradition with modern creativity. Their work thrives on collaboration, bringing together diverse voices to create music and captivating music videos. Inspired by the spontaneous Friday markets (souqs) of the Arab world, Souq El-Jum3a serves as a contemporary “Souq Okaz,” where artists come together to create and exchange their artistic visions.

Led by Bahloul, the founder and a musician, poet, and psychiatrist, Souq El-Jum3a has been bringing its unique sound to audiences globally since 2020. Their debut album, 7afleh | Party, offers a satirical and sarcastic exploration of culture and identity, alongside multiple music video releases that have captivated fans worldwide.

Don’t miss out on this special performance! Celebrate the power of collaboration, music, and art with Souq El-Jum3a.

Bahloul returned recently from a trip to Syria, after the fall of the Assad regimen, and he will tell us all about it. So be there!

The proceeds of this event will go to charitable causes supporting Syrian families in need.
