Mendip Friends of Palestine presents

Palestinian Dance Night Fundraiser

With DJ Ni-Ku from Bristol Artists for Palestine

A night of music celebrating the Palestinian spirit of resistance. Bring your dance shoes and get ready to move!

Mendip Friends of Palestine presents an evening of dance from Dabke to DJ!

We will begin with a participatory dance session of Dabke, the traditional Palestinian Dance led by a highly talented Palestinian Dance Duo. Then DJ Ni-ku will treat us to a truly memorable set of modern Palestinian dance music emanating from the occupied Palestinian territories and from the Palestinian diaspora. The musical influences from the wider Middle East and the world beyond, fused with the Palestinian music of resistance, creates a unique and exciting sound tinged with the sadness, love and longing of a dispossessed people.

Nik Rawlings is a composer and sound artist originally from Glastonbury who has DJ’d in Egypt, Switzerland, Germany, Poland and the UK. As a member of the Bristol Artists for Palestine group, Nik campaigned successfully for artistic freedom of expression on Palestine and in support of the Bristol Palestine Film Festival, following its cancellation by Bristol’s Arnolfini. A founding member of the Red Brick Building, this will be Nik’s first appearance back at RBB, playing Dabke, Habibi funk and more!
