Yasmine Hamdan

Booking Required

Yasmine Hamdan performs a set that folds pan-Arab traditions into contemporary electro-pop, where her intimate, smoky voice drifts between poetic lyricism and rhythmic propulsion. A singer-songwriter and producer who emerged with Beirut’s pioneering duo Soapkills and later collaborated with Mirwais, she blends soul, guitar-driven motifs and electronic textures. Her work with filmmakers like Elia Suleiman and Jim Jarmusch underscores its cinematic quality. The evening promises a meditative yet urgent soundscape that navigates memory, longing and tenderness.
