YALLA COLLECTIVE
From the intimate spaces to the dance floor – that is Yalla’s recipe for celebration. Blending traditional and contemporary soundscapes from the SWANA* region, the collective has pioneered a unique series of parties in the Helsinki music scene since 2022. Whether it is electrifying dabke from the Levant or chaabi from North Africa, combined with pop, house or techno, Yalla Collective's mission is for the audience to feel at home, wherever home might be outside the dance floor.
*SWANA is an anti-colonial term referring to the regions of South-West Asia and North Africa
