Zaid Khaled

Jordanian singer/songwriter Zaid Khaled, based in Cairo, turns his stories into Arabic pop that feels both intimate and unbound. On stage, he brings that sound to life, bending the genre into something distinctly his own—part dance floor, part daydream. His latest EP, Le Blad, traces the musical currents of the Arab world, building on the playful electronics of his debut Tayarat o Sayarat and the live, richly arranged compositions of Ahla Ayam Hayati.
