Jamila & The Other Heroes

JAMILA & THE OTHER HEROES is a Berlin based band 'from manywhere' creating Psychedelic Desert Rock with a political message.

Leading the band is the vibrant Jamila Al-Yousef who named the band after her Palestinian grandmother. Born in Berlin on the day the Berlin wall came down, Jamila was basically drinking the revolutionary energy with her mother‘s milk. Thus, Jamila & The Other Heroes' new album "Bazaar Bizarre فلسطين وين أنا؟" features powerful messages in Arabic and English of self-empowerment, liberation and the private as well as political fight against any forms of discrimination such as racism and sexism. These are the core values of Jamila & The Other Heroes' music. Through their dancable music, the band encourages listeners to celebrate their differences and work together to create a better world for all.

Let yourself be carried away by an incredible sound of psychedelic desert guitar riffs (Leon Hast) vibrating on a warm fundament of wavy bass runs (Felix ‚Fema‘ Barth), Arabic percussion (Salam Alhassan) and powerful drums (Pier Ciaccio).

“I went to a concert the other night, expecting nothing more than a fun evening with friends. But I left with more than just a setlist replaying in my head. Jamila & The Other Heroes, a band I’ve only recently discovered, staged something more than a live performance: a celebration of resistance that transformed the stage into a space for defiance.” “One of the things that stayed with me after the show was the sense of community that formed in that room. […] Jamila & The Other Heroes didn’t just perform — it was not a one-way conversation. It was simply powerful to experience their presence on the stage together with music lovers and those who just happened to stumble onto the venue that day.“
