BIRDANIN is a mesmerizing genre-bending Arabic pop-rock band led by the singer and oud player Nawar Alnaddaf from Syria, now based in Oslo, Norway. With musicians from vastly different backgrounds, BERDANIN generate a magnetic soundscape with undulating grooves and soaring microtonal melodies. The vocals are emotive and tell tales of the soul, describing a long journey from the east to the west. Nawar Band 57
