Jerusalem In My Heart (AV set) + Farida Amadou
Kings Place & Supersonic Festival presents Jerusalem In My Heart (JIMH). Their performances are unlike anything else; enthralling multimedia experiences delivered with punk rock impulsiveness. Their sound is defiant and visceral, fusing Arabic folk instrumentation, melismatic singing and abyssal synth drones. They are joined by Farida Amadou, a boundless artist taking the electric bass to new dimensions.
Jerusalem In My Heart is an immersive audio-visual performance from Lebanese producer/musician Radwan Moumneh and Montréal-based filmmaker Erin Weisgerber.
