Dance the night away to a groovy mix of beats from Babi, global groove DJ for music from SW Asia and N Africa. Babi is the DJ and Selector behind “Beats Kebab” Party Nights, a gathering that celebrates music and culture through the dance floor. The sets move from the grooves of Egypt, Lebanon and Algeria to the rhythms of Iran and Turkey, with subtle flavours from Armenia and Greece.
Blending traditional sounds with contemporary beats, Babi creates an atmosphere where people connect, move and share in the stories carried by each track.
Our event is being held at the local treasure, The Book and Record Bar, 20 Norwood High Street SE27 9NR, just across the road from West Norwood train station. The Book and Record Bar is a fully licenced venue with steps to access the venue and toilets.
This event is a fundraiser for Gaza Birds Singing and our collective, West Norwood 4 Palestine. Gaza Birds Singing, an initiative set up by Ahmed “Muin” Abu Amsha, is a musical ensemble composed of displaced children and fellow educators who, in makeshift tents, learn to sing and play instruments. Through music, Ahmed restores the children’s voices, offering them hope, joy, and emotional expression in the midst of devastation.
There are different ticket options available, including no-cost Community Tickets for those unable to attend otherwise. Standard Tickets are £10.00 and Solidarity Tickets are £15.
Donations are also warmly welcomed if you are unable to make it but would still like to support the event.
