Bounouar is a Moroccan-German musician known for his distinctive blend of Chaabi music—traditional Moroccan popular music—with contemporary electronic and jazz influences. His work often incorporates elements of Gnawa rhythms and poetry, creating a sound that bridges cultural traditions and modern musical sensibilities. He frequently utilizes the guembri, a traditional three-stringed bass lute, alongside electronic production techniques.

The Renaissance-Theater Berlin, located in the Wedding district, has a rich history dating back to 1905. Originally built as a variety theatre showcasing revues and operettas, it underwent several transformations throughout the 20th century. Following periods as a cinema and a broadcast studio for RIAS Berlin (Radio in the American Sector), it was extensively renovated in the 1980s and re-established as a performance venue. Today, it hosts a diverse program of theatrical productions, concerts, dance performances and other cultural events. The theater is recognized for its intimate atmosphere and well-preserved architectural details reflecting its early 20th-century origins.
