Tarabband, a word game on Tarab and Band, is a six-member group founded in 2008 by Iraqi Egyptian Nadin Al Khalidi and Swedish Gabriel Hermansson in Malmö, Sweden. A cross-cultural musical experience resonating tarab; the universal feeling when emotions and music become one. Tarabband’s music takes off from Malmö and travels via Paris and the Mediterranean to Cairo and Baghdad, creating the band’s original compositions and sound. The group’s front figure and vocalist, Nadin Al Khalidi, fled from Iraq in 2001, arriving in Sweden as a refugee. Her lyrics merge political and social topics along with questions about identity, survival, and love, always striving for peace and tolerance between different cultures. Weaving the personal element into the songs allows Tarabband’s young Arabic audience to relate and connect with Nadin’s lyrics in a way relevant to the current challenges young people face in the Middle East.
