🎶 Get ready to vibe under the stars with a genre-bending night of music at Tamaas Festival, happening at East Plaza, The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi. On Thursday, 29 January, three trailblazing bands take the stage to shake up your playlist and your soul.
Whether you’re into flamenco flair, desert-born psychedelia, or indie Arab anthems, this festival promises one thing: you’ll leave dancing.
🎤 The Line-Up
✨ Yasmine Hamdan
A true pioneer of the Arab indie scene, Yasmine Hamdan returns with her magnetic stage presence and haunting vocals. Think nostalgic yet edgy, traditional yet rebellious—she’s not just performing; she’s rewriting the rules.
🌀 Al-Qasar
Dubbed retro-futurist Arab psychedelia, Al-Qasar delivers a whirlwind of sound that fuses the raw spirit of the Sahara with Californian grit. It’s trance-y, punchy, and impossible not to move to.
🔥 Maruja Limón
These ladies bring the fire with rumba Catalana infused with flamenco, dembow, salsa, pop, and a splash of electronic magic. This is the kind of set that starts with a toe tap and ends with a full-on dance circle.
