Intro to Shamstep, Gamar, Mo Light and Everyland instantly grab your attention. The unmistakeable Arabic Dabke Electro sound of 47 Soul features synthesisers, hypnotic guitar riffs, tabla percussion and the warm voices of the four musicians. Their hypnotic songs in Arabic and English delight audiences in the Arab world and Europe with their celebration of liberty, equality and fraternity. According to BBC World, “47 Soul has crossed a bridge between East and West” since its first album in 2015 and each concert is an invitation to dance. With their contagious, feverish, trance-like energy and their mixture of languages and musical styles, the group embodies the Palestinian diaspora: diverse, fragmented, and inventive. Their music brings this heritage alive while echoing the fervour of a young generation who imagine a world beyond borders.
