Yalla Barra- Words that for many middle easterners means two things. “GET OUT”. These words speak true to the lived experiences of many Middle Eastern folks and also for living your best life.

We will also have Lebanese/Canadian artist el Hashem, who debuted his first release in late 2020, with a combo set of an Arabic and English cover songs.

With a cool mix of eastern and western sound and energy, el Hashem is fast gaining praise from industry watchers and music fans. Finally we will have DJ Louay, who’s been the resident DJ for Middle eastern nights since the beginning. Bringing arabic pop and house music together that will have us dancing and wanting more.
