About the Musicians:
Based in California, Helm is a major contributor to Middle Eastern music and a huge influence and inspiration to many great dancers around the world. Well known for their collaborations with dancers such as FatChanceBellyDance; Mira Betz, Rachel Brice, Zoe Jakes and Elizabeth Strong, Helm’s music provides a rich platform for expression for all to enjoy. www.helmmusic.com

Dajjah’s music is best described as “live mutations of Middle Eastern instruments, post-Islamic beats and wobble base”. Seen previously at Tribalondon, Dajjah are renowned for bringing arab-beats/reeds & bass pressure for the discerning. www.dajjah.co.uk
