He has an extremely eclectic personality \u2013 a true dandy, who describes himself as a \u201cpolitical artist\u201d \u2013 the powerful ironic lyrics of his songs speak of his complex identity \u2013 being Arabic, Muslim and a Westerner in a post-9\/11 world that is more and more absurd. He will appear in Florence solely during Middle East Now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Together with The Narcicyst The line-up of the event we were at the opening Dre Love &amp; The Band, an authentic experience of funk, soul and hip hop, and in closing the rousing rhythms of SHANTEL, German DJ and producer, King&#8217;s beat box that blends Balkan beat in Turkish and Middle Eastern influences, which in Florence will also present his new single &#8220;East West&#8221;, made together with the young and talented singer and musician Greek Areti Ketime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The concert had a very special meaning: the proceeds from the evening went to support the work that it realizes Oxfam to support Syrian refugees in Lebanon, Jordan and Syria, where from 2011 provided relief to over 1.3 million people, through the provision of clean water, shopping vouchers, contributions for the rent, comfort items and the construction and rehabilitation of sanitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/middleastnow.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/THE-NARCICYST_on-stage.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
