Experience Khalid Bounouar live on May 1st

Khalid Bounouar will perform at Brückenforum in Bonn, Germany on May 1st, 2027. Bounouar is a Moroccan-German musician known for his distinctive blend of Gnawa music – a traditional Moroccan spiritual and musical practice – with contemporary electronic and jazz influences. His work often features the *guembri*, a three-stringed bass lute central to Gnawa traditions, alongside modern production techniques and improvisational elements. He frequently collaborates with artists across genres, resulting in a sound that bridges cultural and musical boundaries.

Brückenforum is a cultural centre located in Bonn’s Nordstadt district, housed within the former premises of the Bundesrechnungshof (Federal Audit Office). Established in 1994, it functions as a multi-purpose venue hosting a diverse range of events including concerts, exhibitions, theatre performances and workshops. The building itself is architecturally significant, representing post-war reconstruction efforts in Bonn. It's known for its adaptable spaces which allow for intimate performances as well as larger scale events; its focus is on promoting intercultural dialogue and artistic expression within the community. The forum regularly showcases both established and emerging artists.
