Akram Abdulfattah is a Palestinian-American violin master who combines jazz with middle eastern and Indian music. Akram’s style creates a world of fusion music that is influenced by Palestinian traditional folk, Turkish music, Carnatic style, rock and jazz, reflecting the rich legacy and culture of oriental sounds in a modernized fashion. In 2023, his multinational group, (Palestine/Sweden/Italy/Greece/UK) visited the UK for the first time, with highlights being their debut London show at Rich Mix, and appearances at Knockengorroch and Cambridge Folk. Akram has a new album due for release this year, alongside further UK and European visits with his band.
