Wasim Arslan

(Syria) is a singer and songwriter from Aleppo. His soulful voice is known for reaching people’s hearts. Having faced the atrocities of war, Wasim has experienced both the light and the dark side of life. His poetry and melodies speak of these two forces and the search for freedom, spreading a message of unity. Wasim’s music is diverse, ranging from ballads to dance music, acoustic, electronic, traditional and folk music, working together with musicians from different cultures. Wasim feels a responsibility to keep the Syrian culture and traditions alive, which led him to organise cultural events in The Netherlands. He collaborated in 2024 with Cappella Amsterdam, creating the show Aleppo, telling the story of the city and its history of music. The show toured to theatres in The Netherlands and Belgium and was broadcast on NPO Klassiek and Radio Klara.
