Shkoon
«Their arabic electro-folk fascinates people around the world» wrote the Tagesanzeiger recently. The band formed in 2015, when fate united Ameen from Syria and Thorben from Germany in Hamburg. Blending beautiful Arabic poetry, melodramatic tunes, and traditional folk songs with downbeat deep house, dub, and hip hop, Ameen’s voice in combination with Thorben’s dexterity on the piano, synthesizers, and percussions, creates a transcending and incredibly liberating atmosphere on the dancefloor.
After releasing Rima, FIRAQ, numerous EPs, and their latest album Masrahiya, Ameen and Thorben are back with with their Greater Than One tour.
Anıl
Co-founder of jazzhane, Anıl believes that his search for melancholy in music and the perception of home (or the lack thereof) is a search for belonging: a feeling that can be fictitious. Unsurprisingly, his eclectic sets heavily feature music in the minor key.
Believing that stories are told through music, Anıl blends melodramatic tunes with the Andalusian cadence, Rumba, or Cumbia, accompanied by deep basslines. Depending on the night and setting, the stories can be dark, joyful, ecstatic, or humorous, oftentimes energetic and with explosive energy.
