47SOUL®
ABOUT US
47SOUL is a trailblazing musical collective, formed in Jordan in 2013 and now based between London and Palestine. The group comprises Tareq Abu Kwaik (El Far3i), Ramzy Suleiman (ZthePeople), Walaa Sbait, and Hamza Arnaout (El Jehaz). They single-handedly pioneered the “Shamstep” genre by fusing electronic hip-hop with traditional Dabke dance music and elements of reggae. Their music draws from the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the Levant region, encompassing modern-day Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon. By blending traditional Arabic instruments like the arghul and mijwiz with hip-hop, electronica, and R&B, and melding these with Dabke and other Shaa’bi roots music, 47SOUL has created a unique sound that is both deeply rooted and innovative.
