In the ever-evolving world of music, SHKOON continues to tell a story that bridges cultures, emotions, and time. Since their collaboration began in 2015, when Ameen from Syria and Thorben from Germany crossed paths in Hamburg, SHKOON has risen to the forefront of Arab electronica, captivating audiences worldwide with their unique sound. What started as a simple love for music and storytelling has grown into a movement of unity and connection.

Their debut album Rima in 2019 introduced SHKOON's celestial journey— a blend of Arabic folklore, heartfelt lyrics, and western electronic influences. It set the stage for their evolution, which included a string of standout singles and EPs. In 2022, the live album FIRAQ captured the emotional depth of their music, followed by their concept album Masrahiya ("Theater Play"), a groundbreaking exploration of the blurred lines between reality and fiction.

Now, SHKOON embarks on a new chapter with Greater Than One, a musical journey that reconnects with the sound they started with. This tour is more than a series of concerts; it's a call to collective strength and understanding. Through oriental melodies intertwined with deep house, dub, downbeat, and hip-hop influences, SHKOON continues to weave the past into the present, creating a bridge where tradition and modernity meet to shape the future of music.

Guided by a spirit of musical diplomacy, SHKOON believes in the power of music to build bridges and offer new perspectives. In a world increasingly marked by division, their compositions serve as a reminder of our shared humanity. Through spontaneous and heartfelt performances, SHKOON creates a space where every emotion is welcome— a place to laugh, cry, reflect, and come together.

Their music is not just a sound but an experience. With piano, synths, percussion, and vocals blending seamlessly into a rich tapestry, SHKOON's work defies boundaries and showcases the limitless possibilities of music. Through challenges and triumphs, their journey has connected them with countless listeners, reminding us all that together, we are truly Greater Than One.
