- Comment: The "background" section is far too promotional and serves only to promote Al Khalidi over providing an encyclopedic overview. It should be either completely rewritten to be more neutral or removed.

tarabband |
Tarabband is a six-member Swedish world music band formed in 2008 by Iraqi-Egyptian Nadin Al Khalidi [1] and Swedish Gabriel Hermansson. The band's name is a combination of the Arabic word "tarab," which means "ecstasy" or "rapture," and the English word "band". [1] [2]
Tarabband has toured extensively throughout Europe and the Middle East, and they have performed at major festivals such as Womex [3], Sauti za Busara [4],and al balad festival [5] [6]. They have also collaborated with several other artists, including the Gothenburg Opera Strings Orchestra [7] and Musica Vitae.
Background
Founded in 2008, Tarabband is a musical ensemble co-founded by Nadin Al Khalidi and Gabriel Hermansson. Nadin's early life was divided between Baghdad and Cairo [8], which significantly influenced the band's music. Tarabband's unique artistic identity is rooted in Nadin's diverse cultural upbringing, encompassing both Egypt and Iraq.
Following her experiences during both Gulf War 1 and 2, Nadin relocated from Iraq in 2002 to seek refuge in Sweden due to the upheaval caused by the wars. In Sweden, she focused on realizing her musical aspirations. Her journey extended beyond artistic expression and represented a pursuit of self-discovery and a new identity, using the transformative potential of music and art to navigate the challenges of displacement. [1]
Nadin Al Khalidi's deep connection to the refugee experience significantly influences Tarabband's music. Having journeyed as a refugee from Iraq to Sweden, her personal trials included the loss of her parents and witnessing the harsh realities of war and violence in her homeland. These experiences have profoundly shaped her understanding of the struggles faced by refugees and the power of music in conveying their stories. Nadin's determination is channeled into Tarabband's artistic endeavors, using their unique sound to amplify the voices of the displaced and oppressed.
She expressed her believes in the ability of art and music to transcend boundaries, fostering pathways for understanding and compassion. As a member of Tarabband, Nadin advocates for a world that embraces and supports refugees, all while using their heartfelt music to amplify the voices that often remain unheard. [9]
