Britain's What's On Event Guide
World Music: Eftekasat (Egypt, Syria, UK, Brazil)
Jazz music lines that honour the thematic and rhythmic legacy of the Arab world.
Join us for a cultural extravaganza showcasing music, art, and cuisine from Egypt, Syria, UK, Brazil on May 23, 2026!
Like true craftsmen, loyal to the music traditions they inherited, and overwhelmed by the paths they have crossed with other fellow craftsmen, who represent their own inheritance of musical philosophies, Eftekasat reaches out, as far as its sound could reach, with music lines that cherish the themes and rhythms legacy of the Arabs, and the Orient at large, bow to a prevailing faith in Jazz, and are willing to stroll side by side, intertwine in a dance, or fuse, with the Other’s culture, and above all, to the Other’s music.
Eftekasat’s story stretches back to 1992. An idea, a dream that took a long 10-years labor to be realized in their debut concert, Cairo Jazz Club festival, 2002. Since then, it became a matter of refining the tapestry of their tunes, call it jazz, call it oriental jazz, or modern Arabic music, they are all valid tags for what the members of this band bring to the party, alongside the unique character of each of them.EFTEKASAT performedatnumerous major cultural events, locally andinternationally, such as:?Cairo Jazz club festival ?Modern Folk Musik Festival -Cairo ?Fete de la musique -Cairo ?Mangroovy art festival -Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt ?Bansko International Jazz Festival -Bulgaria?S.O.S music festival -Cairo ?Cairo Jazz festival ?San Jose Jazz festival -U.S.A ?Carthage Jazz festival -Tunis ?Nisville InternationalJazz festival -Serbia?PANAF -Algeria?Festival of Jordan-Amman ?Unit Asia Japan Tour ?Egyptian Cultural week –India ?Jazz au Chellah –Morocco
