YASMINE HAMDAN

SUNDAY, JUNE 7

Yasmine Hamdan first made a name for herself on the music scene with the pioneering Beirut-based indie-electro duo Soapkills, which she co-founded with Zeid Hamdan in the late 1990s.

After moving to Paris in 2005, Yasmine collaborated with Madonna’s producer, Mirwais, on the Y.A.S. project, releasing the album *Arabology* in 2009 on Universal—an album that was both elegant and club-ready.

Since then, she has gained international recognition as a singer-songwriter and solo producer, skillfully blending diverse influences: pan-Arab roots, pop, and poetic lyrics, electro, soul, and guitar melodies. Yasmine has collaborated with filmmakers such as Elia Suleiman and Jim Jarmusch, and has toured the world to promote her albums Ya Nass (2013) and Al Jamilat (2017).

Her third album, titled “I remember I forget وبتذكر بنسى,” was released on September 19.
