Experience soulful melodies, funky rhythms, and captivating themes of love and loss with Bassel & The Supernaturals at the Dennis C. Moss Cultural Arts Center at 8 p.m. on Friday, July 19, 2024. Led by Syrian-American Bassel Almadani, the band draws inspiration from Stevie Wonderâs rhythm and blues, Jamiroquaiâs socially-conscious lyrics, and Steely Danâs jazz-infused funk.Â
Defining his sound as "Syrian Heart with Midwest Soul," Almadani and his band tell his story as a first-generation Syrian-American born and raised in Ohio by parents who immigrated to the United States from Aleppo.
ï»żBassel & The Supernaturals are known for sharing a powerful message with phenomenal music, but thereâs a deeper layer. Almadani, deeply inspired by Otis Redding, uses the stage as an opportunity to unite listeners and support important causes. His stories are profound and personal, and a portion of the groupâs proceeds benefit the Karam Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on building a better future for Syria.
