Tarabband
“Somewhere within us, love and war can breathe side by side. Both await their moment to emerge. Is this our nature, or are we truly free to choose which of them speaks to our hearts?”
— Nadin Al Khalidi
Founded in Malmö, Sweden, in 2008, Tarabband has established itself over 18 years on the Swedish and international scenes for contemporary Arabic and boundary-crossing music.
With Arabic lyrics and influences ranging from jazz and traditional Arabic music to folk and contemporary music, the band has developed a distinctive sound that moves freely between cultures and musical worlds.
Over the years, Tarabband has toured internationally, performing for audiences at venues and festivals across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and North America.
Hub o Harb – Love & War will be released in autumn 2026.
