Hassan Khan performs the concert, The Big One. Khan’s latest set is based upon the juxtaposition of original heavy hardcore synth-based experimental shaabi work-outs with delicately wrought tonal compositions. All live instruments were generated in a series of late-night recording sessions with shaabi musicians and arrangers, in a music studio way past its prime but with an excellent sound engineer on the mixing board.

HASSAN KHAN (b, 1975, lives and works in Cairo) Hassan Khan is an artist, writer, and musician.
