It is with great excitement that we present Muskila and Simon’s Abdallah at this years festival!

Kurdish and Palestinian roots transforming diaspora rhythms into heavy, club-focused soundscapes that challenge borders and redefine electronic culture.
_muskila and Percussionist Simona Abdallah present a live performance rooted in the raw energy of Middle Eastern percussion and alt-electronic music. Bringing together Kurdish and Palestinian heritage, their live show transforms diaspora rhythms into heavy, club-focused soundscapes. Muskila’s production draws from the pulse of Kurdish drums, rave aesthetics and club music, while Simona’s darbuka and hand percussion channel Palestinian traditions with fierce, virtuosic precision. The duo create a sound built on resistance, celebration, and cross-cultural storytelling, honoring their roots while pushing them into futuristic club contexts.

Their forthcoming 2026 album blurs the line between studio composition and live improvisation, with Simona’s drumming anchoring the record; translating region- al rhythmic traditions into expansive electronic forms. On stage, movement, visuals, and a ritualistic intensity fold together, creating an immersive environment that extends beyond the frame of a conventional concert.
