47SOUL

Palestine / Jordan

PERFORMANCES

47SOUL single-handedly sowed the seeds of the Shamstep genre. The Palestinian musical collective formed in Jordan in 2013 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 the Levantine region.

Over the decade since their original formation, 47SOUL have toured the world and built up a formidable following across Arab countries, the global Arab diaspora and beyond including memorable appearances for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert and KEXP session. They continue to march the Shamstep movement forward with their unmistakable sound, infectious energy and thought-provoking Arabic and English lyrics exploring all themes from the political and philosophical to direct calls to the recognition of the common humanity of all people.
