Raed Yassin in Concert

Artist, turntablist and all-round musician Raed Yassin creates a special electronic and turntabling set for the unique surroundings of Leighton House Museum and his exhibition. Remixing classic popular Arabic music with playful nostalgia and cheeky irreverence, Yassin’s music will inject a mesmeric and haunting soundscape into London’s most orientalist building. Like his visual art, his music draws from personal narratives within a collective history, seen through the lens of consumer culture and mass production. Raed Yassin is an essential figure on the Lebanese experimental music scene. A large part of his discography revolves around deconstructing Arab popular culture. He is a founding member of the Irtijal Festival and Annihaya records in Beirut and has performed widely across the Middle East, as well as the US, Japan and Europe. Supported by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and British Council
