<a href="https://www.basharmurad.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bashar Murad</a> is a Palestinian singer, lyricist, director and composer born and raised in Jerusalem. Bashar uses pop music and art as a vehicle to challenge stereotypes, normativity and to highlight social issues facing young generations of urban Palestinians.In June 2021 Bashar Murad released his debut E.P. “Maskhara” (Arabic for “Mockery”) which features a collaboration with the pioneering Palestinian hip hop artist Tamer Nafar (DAM). The work is a masterpiece of escapist sonic finesse, blending his native Jerusalem reality with a distinct pop style and genre-bending aesthetics. The music on the E.P. provides little space for rest or respite, upbeat and energetic sounds instantly take the listener to another dimension.

His works include “Shillet Hamal” (Bunch of Bums), Ilkul 3am Bitjawaz (Everyone’s Getting Married) and the United Nations commissioned song and music video for “Ana Zalameh” (I Am A Man) all garnering regional and global attention. Apart from the unique sound which Bashar managed to carve himself on the Palestinian and regional music scenes, he also accompanies his works with spectacular visual works testifying to his playful imagination.Bashar Murad at TIFF:Bashar’s soundtrack will be featured in the upcoming feature film <a href="https://tiff.net/events/a-gaza-weekend" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">A GAZA WEEKEND</a> by Basil Khalil, which is set to premiere at TIFF this September.

<h3>W﻿ith Opening Act</h3><h1>NOUR</h1>

NOUR goes searching for a sound that would reverberate with her soul. She ultimately found one – in between various genres, modulated by her moods. She connects to music through a myriad of outside influences and inner, deeply personal experiences living in very different, often contradictory, cultural and natural environments. Born Palestinian, ever since cosmopolitan... This alone speaks volumes.Her music is elaborated with her native patterns of the Orient and vibed yet deeper to reverberate with the subconsciousness, it’s the kind of music which makes so many more in her audience feel being in the right place at the right time. Who does not love it deep and their journeys distant…Follow Nour Online<ul><li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0aqFskhzY0NsmvOJRBp7nI" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Spotify</a></li><li><a href="https://soundcloud.com/nourpalestina" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Soundcloud</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nourpalestina/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Instagram </a></li></ul>
