AL.Berlin | Aladin (Balout Krew)

This month, the show falls on Nakba Day, which is commemorated annually on May 15. It marks the beginning of the destruction of the Palestinian homeland and the mass displacement in 1948 of the majority of the Palestinian population (Nakba means 'catastrophe' in Arabic).

To mark the day and the ongoing Nakba, AL.Berlin invites Aladin — one half of the beloved Balout Krew ألبلوط — to take us on a musical journey through vinyls, cassettes, and CDs, old and new. Expect stories of loss, hope, and the ongoing struggle of the Palestinian people. Join Aladin for the best hits of the last 77 years, straight from his uncles’ collection, Arab weddings, Palestinian markets, and beyond. His sound brings the taste of zaatar and arak to your tongue while dancing in a cocoon of nostalgia between old and new homes.
