A Night of Music for Gaza ليلة موسيقية من أجل غزة 

live performance | total Running time: 180m | book tickets

We’ll be closing Falastin Film Festival Glasgow with a night of music, to raise funds for the Masharawi Films Fund in Gaza, a fund empowering filmmakers in Gaza to continue telling their stories. Saud Al-Dughaim will play a variety of traditional Oud music, and the night will wrap up with a set by Hajar.


About the guests

Saud Al-Dughaim, a native of the Mashriq and born to a Bedouin tradition. He is twenty years of age, and pursues the study of music with a deliberation and purpose that seeks understanding over formality, and clarity over display. He is skilled in playing the oud, with a particular devotion to Bedouin melodies, Levantine folk traditions, and the fine structures of classical Arabic music. He finds music to be a matter of spirit over entertainment, and a continuation as well as a review of heritage over a performance for novelty

Hajar is Palestinian-Egyptian and grew up in Beirut, later moving to Edinburgh. In 2023 she published a short book on Beirut’s Underground Music Scene. She is also part of the DJ duo with Nara, under the name Shahrazadi. They jump eras, genres and continents, that are deftly interwoven by a thread of melody and percussion from across the Middle East.
