2. The Away Days

This Turkish dream pop and shoegaze band started in 2012 in Istanbul, and has since performed at several international music festivals. Their sound is dreamy and smooth and their music videos are often dramatic, set with a background of a mysterious Istanbul.

3. Saad Lamjarred

This Moroccan singer had his real breakthrough this spring with the hit single Lm3allem. With over 105 million views, this song is the most viewed song in Arabic on YouTube and even earned a Guinness World Record award for its record +22 million views 3 weeks after its release.

4. Googoosh

This Iranian singer and actress is widely known for her pop songs and for her contributions to the creative scene in Iran. Googoosh has been active since the 1950’s, and had a comeback in 2000 after 20 years of silence. She has released several albums since then, most recently the album Aks Khosoosi (2015). Her Persian influenced pop songs are hugely popular in Iran and around the world.
