Digital programme: Sada (Echo): Music from Palestine

Sada composite

Welcome to a groundbreaking celebration of contemporary Palestinian music and culture.

This event, a collaboration between Marsm UK and Shubbak Festival, brings together an extraordinary line-up of artists who are reshaping the soundscape of the SWANA region: blending tradition, resistance, innovation, and global influences into powerful expressions of identity and creativity.

At a moment when the world is paying renewed attention to the stories, struggles and resilience of Palestinian people, this showcase offers a unique opportunity to experience the rich diversity of Palestinian music - from the raw, revolutionary hip hop of DAM and the fearless voice of Maysa Daw, to the haunting folk melodies of Rola Azar and the cutting-edge electronic soundscapes of Sama’ Abdulhadi, YA Z AN and Dana Salah.

These artists are not only musicians; they are cultural ambassadors and innovators who use their art to challenge stereotypes, inspire solidarity, and build bridges across communities. Their music invites all audiences—whether familiar with Palestinian culture or new to it—to listen deeply, reflect, and celebrate the power of creativity to transcend borders.

Join us for an unforgettable evening where beats, voices, and stories unite in a vibrant tapestry of sound and spirit—honouring a culture that is enduring, evolving, and rising.
