Damascus’s well-known soul and funk-influenced music producer, songwriter, rapper, and singer returns to London after several long years.Bu Kolthoum chose music to pave the way of his life driven by the damascene ‘Tarab’ music that sank in his ears for years upon years in Syria, with the Hip-Hop/R&b and Soul influences that shaped his project’s sounds.
What sets Bu apart in the SWANA region is his seamless fusion of various sonic realms, drawing from the rich tapestry of ‘Zajal,’ and ‘Ataaba’ music that immersed him during his formative years. Complementing these influences is a diverse palette both sonically and thematically, incorporating his unique sound elements and refined his artistic vision.
With over 14 years of honing his craft, he has created what are now regarded as timeless classics of modern Arabic music, rendering him a pioneer of a sonic paradigm uniquely his own and charting new territory in the musical landscape of the Levant region. Over the years, he has graced some of the grandest stages across Europe and around the globe and took part in the most prestigious events. He also performed alongside luminaries such as Damon Albarn and The Orchestra of Syrian Musicians at the iconic music festival Glastonbury.
Bu continues to push the boundaries of his musical expression as he prepares for the release of his upcoming fourth studio album this year.
