HABIBI HAFLA

Habibi Hafla, curated by MzRizk, is a celebration of Arabic culture, showcasing the vibrant music, arts, and traditions of the SWANA region. Live performances including traditional dancers, and DJs take traditional Arabic celebrations from private events to the public. Haflas have taken place at Section8 and The Toff in Melbourne as well as at iconic venue KED in Beirut, Lebanon.
