Berlin’s biggest recurring SWANA club night just got bigger!
SAHRA (Sah-raa), meaning a night-out in Arabic, is the recurring party that brings all the different styles of SWANA music and its influences to the dancefloor, whether it is the beloved Arabic oldies, Shaabi sounds including Dabke and Mahraganat, or the up and coming genres of Electro-tarab, Oriental techno and Post-Shaabi. SAHRA has something for everyone.
Sahra is a Berlin-based collective that has been lighting the night scene, nurturing new talents, providing a safer, more inclusive space, and making ripples among all partygoers throughout Berlin’s iconic clubbing scene.
For our second anniversary, we are celebrating in style in our biggest event yet. This year, we are going all out with Sahra Festival with 10 hours of incredible live acts and DJs, featuring your returning favorites alongside some of the world’s best and most talented SWANA stars.
Two years ago we started this Journey together as Sahra to carve out a space for SWANA culture in the Berlin nightlife scene, and dismantle the dichotomy that surrounds our existence and perception in the diaspora. This is a celebration of who we are and who we can be as a community, a celebration of existence as an act of resistance.
The past two years have been a surreal adventure filled with the unbelievable love and energy that manifest every time we get together. That energy is what keeps us motivated to bring you the best and nothing less!
Join us in this sure-to-be unforgettable experience of the first edition of Sahra Festival!
And as always, no Sahra experience is complete without the Arak, sponsored by Enab Berlin.
