Arabic Band Stockholm

Formed in 2008, our Stockholm-based Arabic Band is an award-winning ensemble made up of some of Sweden's most highly skilled and well-established musicians from the folk and world music scenes.

Led by the charismatic Iraqi-Egyptian singer Nadin, who fled war in Iraq for Sweden in 2001, the band’s music and lyrics tell the story of her journey of survival, exile, life, and rebirth.

Traveling all over the world, the Arabic Band has shared their original compositions with audiences in Baghdad, Cairo, Paris, Sweden, and many other places. Their music is heavily influenced by other styles, including Middle Eastern and Nordic Folk and Traditional music, Jazz, Persian and Latin, resulting in the band’s unique sound.

Combining a distinct groove and sweetness, the talented ensemble was nominated for and awarded 2014’s “Best Crossover Act” at the “Swedish World Music Awards.”
