Inspired by a multicultural human experience, Yousif Yaseen is a young Kuwaiti singer and guitarist whose songs and compositions are a montage of sources that draw out unique eastern modalities through a western musical framework.

The Yousif Yaseen Project brings together musicians from Bahrain and Lebanon, all of them committed to blending music from a wide range of sources to produce a sound that is both passionate and unique. It combines aspects of jazz, soul, Arabic music and American folk to create elemental songs that have been described as being “reminiscent of distant daydreams and ominous mountains”.
