EL Búho
Robin Perkins, known as El Búho, was born in northwest England to a geography lecturer dad and a naturalist mom. Growing up on the edge of the Peak District National Park, he developed a love for nature, studying Latin American studies at Glasgow University. His musical journey began in Buenos Aires, blending UK electronica with Latin American folk.
His music career soared in Mexico after releasing the Cenotes EP in 2015. Standout track "Mañana Tepotzlan" reached over 17 million Spotify streams. El Búho's acclaimed albums and performances worldwide, including on the Eiffel Tower, solidified his influence.
By night, El Búho is an owl; by day, an environmentalist with a decade at Greenpeace. From phasing out toxic chemicals to promoting renewable energy, he's been a global advocate. Now based in Toulouse, he seamlessly merges music and activism, organizing events like DJs For Climate Action and the 'A Guide to the Birdsong' project, raising over $70,000 for bird conservation. Perkins, with his family and dog Frida, continues to bridge the worlds of art and environmental stewardship.

Hadi Halawi
We are delighted to present Hadi Halawi and his band, offering an experience that takes us on a musical journey from the vibrant capital of Lebanon, Beirut.
Hadi Halawi, a talented singer and musician from Beirut, Lebanon, has captivated audiences with his unique voice and passionate performances. Deeply rooted in Lebanese musical traditions, Hadi performs classical tunes with a modern touch, creating an unforgettable musical experience.
Lebanon, a country rich in history and culture, was once home to the Phoenician civilization. The Phoenicians were renowned for their seafaring skills, trade, and art, and their influence lives on in Lebanon's culture and music. Hadi Halawi and his band carry this cultural heritage forward by integrating the rich cultural influences from the Phoenician era into their music.
Together with his band, comprised of equally skilled musicians, Hadi Halawi delivers a repertoire that spans traditional Lebanese songs. Their music tells stories of love, hope, and the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East, while also breaking boundaries and building bridges between different cultures.
During the evening, we will hear songs that reflect the soul of Beirut, a city known for its diversity and vibrant cultural life. Hadi Halawi and his band offer a concert filled with emotion, energy, and musical brilliance, making this an event not to be missed.
Come and experience the magic as Hadi Halawi and his band fill the room with their melodies and take us on a musical journey from the heart of Lebanon. Let the music unite us and celebrate the diversity in our community, while honoring the historical and cultural roots of the Phoenician era.

ΩHϻAR
Here we have one of few humans that can define himself as a 21st-century inventor, he’s a musical mastermind and eccentric madman. He’s the creator of “Dragonslayer-tekno” and his musical roar can be heard over the entire planet when igniting his tunes.
He’s an intergalactic pirate that’ll never be bound by terrestrial borders. His music is a vessel to other universes and if you’re lucky, you’ll find yourself in the right galaxy at the right time, to hear his booming sounds.
– buckle up and enjoy the ride.
- A pure sound master and a living instrument of being
