47SOUL – Live Open Air Show
*Taking place after the National Demonstration for Palestine in London.
The Palestinian collective bring their pioneering Shamstep sound to the Fox garden, complete with powerful, affecting lyricism.
47SOUL السبعة و أربعين Single-handedly sowed the seeds of the Shamstep genre. The Palestinian musical collective formed in Jordan in 2013 with Tareq Abu Kwaik, Ramzy Suleiman, and Hamza Arnaout taking influence from hip-hop, electronica, and R&B and melding it with the sounds of Dabke, a traditional folk dance, and other Shaa’bi roots music from Bilad Al Sham.
With three studio releases and multiple world tours to their name, 47SOUL marches the Shamstep movement forward with infectious energy and thought-provoking Arabic and English lyrics exploring the political, the philosophical and rousing direct calls to the recognition of the common humanity of all people.
