Shaden Nahra
Growing up nested between the Palestinian heritage and the western classical music, Shaden is set out to explore the relationship and balance between East and West, between the tranquility of the old world & the fast pace of the new one.
A Bachelor in Classical Performance and Master in Contemporary Performance from Berklee College of Music with over two decades of musical experience and studies, Shaden’s music starts in the east, reaches to the west and settles in the middle
Shaden has collaborated with artists such as: DAM, Rasha Nahas, Tamer Nafar, Synaptik, Moody Kablawi, Zach Matari and many more. He also toured with several bands and has performed at many festivals such as: Glastonbury, MIDEM, PMX, Shambala etc.
A versatile artist who is a natural performer and storyteller that takes the audience on a journey through classical music imagery, painted in a psychedelic spaces and delivered with a pinch of theatricality.

“Think of those flowers you plant in the garden each year, they will teach you that people too must wilt, fall, root, rise, in order to bloom” - The Sun and her flowers, Rupi Kaur This Argentinian - Palestinian collaboration steps into the war zone, where the lines of suffering, hope, despair, resilience and vulnerability are crossed, and people are forced to learn how to navigate through the darkness in search for the light. We must always keep believing that there is a rainbow hiding behind the clouds of the storm.
A conflict between two states of mind can happen between two people with different points of view or two countries with different strategies. This song calls for a fair solution by accepting each other's differences and enjoying the simple pleasures of life, after all we are only different shades of each other. The song is arranged in a way to reveal those different points of view of the same melody. We tried to find a common ground between the Lebanese melody and the Argentinian groove while adding some spices from here and there.
