Traditional Arabic street music, electrified. The Jordanian Palestinian band 47SOUL mixes Debka, the traditional Palestinian street music and dance, with electronic beats, funk, hip-hop and rock, and “the ensuing fusion is fascinating.” (The Guardian) Performing in Philly for the first time, 47SOUL rocks our Outdoor Plaza with distinctive guitar hooks and shattering, bilingual verses that call for universal freedom and equality.

Long before beer became a pub favorite, it gave our nomadic ancestors fuel for survival. It was a safer source of hydration than water, provided ample nutrition, and even helped early humans make the transition from a nomadic lifestyle to village life.
