Remix ⟷ Culture returns with a new exploration of community-rooted music and stories, porting them to the contemporary through audio and visual remix. Once again led by the notion of tanfis, an Arabic word that translates to a cathartic exhalation and liberation of the soul, this year’s iteration brings together a collective of NY-based musicians, storytellers, remix artists, and DJs from diaspora communities of Palestine, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon.

Singer/songwriter Nour Harkati draws creative inspiration both from his birthplace of Tunisia and from his nomadic exploration of the lands and disparate sounds of North Africa, Europe, and New York City. Spiced with enigmatic strings, handclaps, muted brass and Harkati's warm vibrato voice, these are songs that transliterate their Tunisian lyrics into the beautiful and familiar language of a busker's entreaty to stop and appreciate rare beauty. presents a live performance of his most recent releases, a dreamy and delicately filigreed fusion of indie pop and traditional Arabic music. These wistfully nostalgic tracks provide insight into Harkati's journey and the future of folk music.

Presented in collaboration with Greenwich House Music School
