Nasser Deen Al Touffar is a Lebanese rapper from Ain Baalbeck. He started his career with the album "Asshâb El Ard" (Owners of the Land) with the band Touffar. Some believe that the album helped revolutionize Lebanese alternative music. He went on to produce several solos and songs with other artists that addressed social and political issues that individuals, generations, or even society as a whole suffer from on a daily basis. Al Touffar clearly expresses his political views in his songs without any insinuation. He sings for freedom in its various forms (workers' and women's rights, freedom of thought and belief, and the right of people to get rid of all kinds of oppressive regimes).


He will present his show "Blood and Salt" during the closing ceremony of the Beirut Spring Festival.


Nasser Deen has chosen a young Syrian rapper, known as Sayed Darwish, to accompany him and together they will perform a duet that undeniably carries all the pain of young Arabs.


Hello, Psychaleppo! is a project by Samer Saem Eldahr from Aleppo, Syria. The tracks on the self-released debut are mainly psychedelic and electronic, but have many different cultural roots, and each song revolves around a different story of modern life.


Hello Psychaleppo! is a fusion of Arabic traditional music and electronic sounds.

Rare melodies of the Bedouin "mawwals" and choirs of the ancient tarab are carefully crafted with electronic solos and traditional "old school" arrangements, giving this music a highly distinctive and contemporary feel.

The young talent behind Hello Psychaleppo! is Zimo, a music producer from Aleppo.
