Habibi Festival brings the vibrant sounds of Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan, and beyond. DJ Kofta of the iconic party series Yalla! Party Project will keep the vibes high as we kick things off with the Habibi Festival house band, led by Yacine Boulares and featuring special guests, including Tunisian cellist/composer Nesrine, and Sudanese singer-songwriter Mai Elgizouli. The groundbreaking avant-garde artist EMEL will headline with her theatrical avant-garde electronic, rock, and pop sound.
