A central element of this year\u2019s festival edition is the collaboration with our guest curator Mohamed Ben Sa\u00efd. The Tunisian promoter and curator brings his extensive experience and international network to the development of the music programme. Together with him, a programme has emerged that brings together established international artists as well as innovative new music projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are very happy to have Mohamed on the Salam Music team as this year\u2019s guest curator. Working with him has been both enriching and inspiring - on a personal as well as an artistic level - and we look forward to seeing what may grow from this collaboration for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biography<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mohamed has more than 20 years of experience in event production, artist management and international touring. He repositioned the International Festival of Dougga - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - as a contemporary cultural platform. Previously, he co-founded the festival Mousiqa Wassalem and directed major programmes such as the Carthage Music Days (JMC). As founder of Akacia Productions (Tunis\/Paris), he collaborates with leading voices of the alternative music scene and builds sustainable networks between Europe, the MENA region and Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His curatorial vision: strengthening artists, fostering intercultural dialogue and developing long-term music ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listening Session<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the Listening Session<\/a> at Salam Salon (Wednesday, April 22, 2026, Spektakel), Mohamed Ben Sa\u00efd dedicates an evening to the work of Ziad Rahbani - one of the most singular and uncompromising voices in modern Arab music and theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Salam Music, he has curated a dedicated playlist and invites the audience to listen together - an invitation to encounter Rahbani\u2019s work as a living and multifaceted voice of our time.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
