This year, we were happy to present the Award-winning band Tarabband during our Festival.
Formed in Malmö 2008, Tarabband hosts some of Sweden's most skilled folk and world musicians. The group is led by the charismatic Iraqi-Egyptian singer Nadin, who fled war In Iraq to Sweden in 2001. Tarabband's music and lyrics narrates her journey of survival, Exile, life and rebirth. Tarabband combines groove and sweetness with a charismatic voice to transgress Borders that are drawn between countries and humans.
"Tarab" itself is an Arabic term for The ecstasy that can appear when music and emotions merge and become one.
