About
Held annually at the Bahrain National Amphitheatre, this outdoor festival brings together world music artists from across the Arab world, Africa, Europe, and Asia for several evenings of open-air performances. The intimate outdoor venue — with the Bahraini night sky overhead — creates a magical atmosphere. The festival celebrates Bahrain’s tradition as a crossroads of civilisations and trade routes, reflected in a musically diverse programme that moves from Arab classical oud and maqam to West African rhythms and Latin fusion.
