Khalid Bounouar live in Bielefeld

Experience Khalid Bounouar live on June 13th

Khalid Bounouar will perform at Lokschuppen in Bielefeld, Germany on June 13, 2027. Bounouar is a Moroccan-German musician known for his blend of Gnawa music traditions with contemporary electronic and jazz elements. His work often features the *guembri* (a three-stringed bass lute central to Gnawa music), alongside synthesizers, percussion, and improvisational structures. He explores themes of cultural identity, spirituality, and migration within his compositions, creating a sound that is both deeply rooted in tradition and forward-looking.

Lokschuppen Bielefeld is a venue housed within a former railway repair hall dating back to the early 20th century. Originally constructed as part of the Deutsche Reichsbahn’s infrastructure, the building served as a locomotive workshop until its closure in 1986. It was subsequently repurposed into a cultural center and concert hall in the 1990s. The venue is noted for its industrial architecture and spacious interior which allows for diverse event formats including concerts, theatre productions, and exhibitions. It has become a significant location for both regional and international artists seeking an alternative performance space with unique acoustics.
