Considered as a founder of Arabicana music, NO BLUES will be in Ankara for the first time.

Altus Arts & Culture proudly presents NO BLUES concert.

If you look up the word ‘arabicana’ you find a music genre and its inventors; NO blues. Even after ten years the band that combines Oriental roots music and American folk blues is still unique in the world. On the new album Oh Yeah Habibi, NO blues bridges the gap between east and west and changes the Nile and the Mississippi in one meandering musical delta.

Haytham Safia (U'd vocals,)

Janos Koolen (guitar, vocals)

Osama Meleegi (percussion and  vocals)

Anne-Maarten van Heuvelen (double bass, vocals).

You will not find the word ‘Arabicana’ in any encyclopedia except in combination with the band NO blues. What started as experiment became a full blown musical genre. They called their unique mix of Americana (folk, blues and country) and Arabic music; ‘Arabicana’.
