Following her
memorable Cairo debut in January 2019, temptress of techno, SAMA’, is set to
return for a huge gig on March 13th at The Tap West, alongside
fellow Palestinian DJ and producer, Sarouna.
SAMA’ is credited
as the first Palestinian DJ to make an impact regionally and internationally, having
performed at the likes of Berlin’s Fusion Festival and Glasgow’s Riverside
Festival, as well as featuring in globally acclaimed documentary ‘Palestine
Underground’, which gave unique insight on the growing underground scenes in
Ramallah and the West Bank.
This is no normal
gig, however, and will serve as a launch for ‘Electrosteen’, a compilation
album from some of the best up-and-coming Palestinian talent that blends
Palestinian folk and modern electronic music. The album comes as a result of a
two-week workshop that invited electronic music producers to use and sample
folk music archives and will eventually be turned into a live music concept.
