Charif Megarban. DURCHLÜFTEN – 2025 Live Konzerte & DJ Acts im Schlüterhof

In the organizer's words:

Free, outdoors and under palm trees: this summer, the DURCHLÜFTEN music festival will once again transform the Humboldt Forum's large Schlüterhof courtyard into a lively meeting place for sound, rhythm and culture.

Over four weekends, music from all over the world will radiate from the stage: from the raw energy of Mexican cumbia punk to the hypnotic groove of Kenyan dodo blues, from the electrifying syncopation of Congolese soukous to the powerful messages of Afrofuturist big bands.

Japanese folk with a Caribbean influence, soulful jazz, hip-hop and the joy and resilience of the Frafra gospel round off this celebration of sound - boundless, multi-perspective and irresistibly danceable!

Charif Megarbane (Beirut, Portugal)

Beirut-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Charif Megarbane creates a distinctive sound that he calls Lebrary - a fusion of Lebanese and Mediterranean influences filtered through the rich soundscapes of production music. His latest album Marzipan, released by Habibi Funk, combines the nostalgic warmth of artists such as Ziad Rahbani, Ahmed Malek and Issam Hajali with a contemporary sensibility.

A prolific composer with over 100 projects under his belt, Megarbane translates his surroundings into vibrant soundscapes. From the hustle and bustle of Beirut's Souk El Ahad to the serene landscape of Chez Mounir and the sun-soaked shores of Portemilio, Marzipan is a kaleidoscopic journey through places and memories - a multi-layered blend of groove, melody and atmosphere that shapes a timeless, genre-bending sound.
