ARABIAN NIGHTS – WORLD MUSIC LIVE SESSION

Abdelkader Saadoun & Takaleed
Special Guest: Kader Fahem – 2026 UK Tour
Saturday 21 March
Doors 7.00pm
Live music from 8.00pm

Step into an evening of rhythm, colour and celebration as Arabian Nights transforms The Blue Moon Club.

As part of their 2026 UK Tour, Abdelkader Saadoun and Takaleed bring a powerful live show weaving together new original compositions with beloved traditional sounds from across North Africa and the Middle East.

Expect hypnotic Gnawa grooves, soaring Algerian Rai melodies, the pulse of Chaabi, flashes of flamenco fire and the improvisational spirit of jazz. Think Gipsy Kings meets Gotan Project, rich in rhythm, passion and global influence.

Special guest Kader Fahem adds dynamic guitar work and unmistakable presence, elevating the energy even further.

This is music that invites you to move, to feel and to lose yourself in the atmosphere. A vibrant cultural celebration filled with warmth, intensity and unmistakable live power.

DJ and after party till late.

Ticketed event.

If you’d like, we can sharpen that comparison line even more so it hits harder for marketing.
