Jamila & The Other Heroes is a Berlin-based band 'from manywhere', blending psychedelic desert rock with a powerful message of collective liberation.
Jamila Al-Yousef, who named the band after her Palestinian grandmother, was born in East Berlin on the day the wall came down. Nourished by the revolutionary spirit of that moment and deeply shaped by her Palestinian father’s life story, she writes songs in Arabic and English sharing her family stories and experiences as a diasporic Palestinian moving between worlds.
From the Nile to the Atlantic, audiences across continents describe Jamila & The Other Heroes’ concerts as rituals of collective energy — wild, tender, and deeply political. With soaring desert rock guitars, earthy bass grooves, driving rhythms, and Jamila’s voice carrying both pain and empowerment, each performance creates a shared space for healing, unity, and defiance.
Expect raw honesty, joyful resistance, and a celebration of togetherness — a space where everyone can breathe, move, and feel free.
After the two acclaimed albums Sit el Kon ست الكون (Grandmother of the Universe, 2020) and Bazaar Bizarre فلسطين وين أنا؟ (2023) the new EP Hijarna حخارنا (our stones) will be released in spring 2026.
