The Palestinian multi-instrumentalist Ahmed Eid has released his first solo record "min ghazzeh la baghdad min haifa la beirut (من غزة لبغداد من حيفا لبيروت)" after performing with bands for more than a decade.

Never been to Dortmund? This year’s Way Back When Festival might be a good reason to change that, with performances by Sam Vance Law, Kat Frankie, Martin Kohlstedt and plenty more.
