La Banda de Gaza is front-lined by Iqi Balam who brings biting, politically charged lyrics to the group’s eclecticity of musical rhythms from Latin America, African percussion and modern beats.

* Hassan el-Hadi Band: Hassan el-Hadi is an accomplished composer, songwriter and singer, as well as an impressive Oud player. Originally from Marrakesh, Morocco, where diverse musical & cultural traditions merge, el-Hadi’s performance will draw inspiration from traditional Lebanese songs.
