. Zaid Hilal - from Beit Sahour in the occupied West Bank - is a bright light in Palestinian and Arabic music, using rich folk-pop as a powerful tool to address the past, preserve his heritage and tell the stories of his people in new and compelling ways.

In a dark time when community is an essential balm, Zaid and his thrilling international band bring forth joyous sounds. Mingling heritage songs and modern compositions, they shift moods exquisitely: from reflective, timelessly beautiful ballads that resonate with meaning to full-throttle dance tunes pulsating with vitality.
