A mix that refuses to sit still. A generation of artists moving between Cairo, Beirut and beyond, pulling inherited forms somewhere new. Nadah El Shazly and Maurice Louca hold the centre, where oud and maqam meet open, restless structure. Jerusalem In My Heart, Youmna Saba, Maryam Saleh and Sandy Chamoun carry the thread forward, while Bedouin Burger, 3Phaz and Simo Cell tilt it toward club weight and electronic abstraction. Heritage and rupture in the same breath.
