AL.FESTIVAL.2025 | OMAR KTD & AL.Berlin

Welcome to the AL.festival takeover at Refuge Worldwide. As part of the 2025 edition, we are having daily shows on where we will be interviewing and discussing music, culture, and resistance with our community and artists participating in the festival. We are so excited to be talking with OMAR KTD ahead of the release of his debut Album and performance at AL.Festival on Saturday. OMAR KTD is a Berlin-based Syrian alternative pop singer, and producer creating a unique blend of Arabic and alternative pop influences, with soft electronic soundscapes and Bedouin Arabic vocals. Omar's lyrics explore issues of queerness, body, resistance, and migration, transforming personal and collective struggles into raw and soft emotional expressions. We will be chatting about these topics, as well as his cultural and musical influences. OMAR KTD will do this by guiding us through a journey of the heritage of Arabic pop.
