Live Music | book ticketsJoin us for a musical concert by renowned composer and Oud virtuoso Saied Silbak. Saied will perform his own compositions and musical pieces inspired by the past, the current situation and the expectations for something unknown.
Opening the evenings music, Intibint will be performing a set of covers of Arabic songs, including resistance songs and popular Yemeni songs. She will also be performing some of her own original tracks, accompanied on the guitar by Tristan from Obia Sounds.
Saied Silbak is a Palestinian composer and oud player born in Shafaa`mr, a city located in the lower Galilee of occupied Palestine. He began training in classical piano at the age of four, before moving onto the oud in his early teens in order to delve deep into the nuances at the base of Arabic music.
Silbak went on to train at the Beit Almusica Conservatoire where he later taught, before studying Music and Psychology at the university of Haifa and then completing his Masters at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, where he is currently based.
He has a unique understanding of different types of music, from Arabic, Turkish and Indian to classical Western styles. Silbak’s signature sound, created through his artful ability to fuse these styles together, has seen him perform around the world at festivals and concert series in the UK, Belgium, France, Palestine, Morocco, Argentina and beyond.
Intibint (meaning "you are a girl") is the moniker of Glasgow-based Yemeni singer, producer and illustrator Noha.
Whilst studying for her masters at SOAS she began to revisit songwriting and performing after a long break from music. In 2020 Noha debuted her first single "Myself", and later in 2021 an EP titled "What Are You Willing to Do" which introduced her own production, with the tracks "You & Me" and "Telling my Mother".
Her work is primarily electronic imbibed with inspiration from Yemeni sounds, exploring themes straddling both the personal and the collective. Her latest tracks Sunflower and Ymn Alsa3eed are symbols of Intibint’s journey both personally and musically, showing the breadth of her production skills and innovative sound.
