Baba Bazaar Brings Borderless Vision of Sound and Style to Amsterdam
Baba Boys bring their diaspora-inspired curational ethos to a new market experience this May.
May 07, 2025
This May 17-18, Amsterdam West will play host to Baba Bazaar, a two-day cultural convergence curated by the globe-spanning creative collective, Baba Boys. Blending fashion, food, and music in an intimate indoor-outdoor space, the bazaar will showcase the emerging brands from Paris, Barcelona, Palestine, Egypt, and beyond in a market experience that leans less on the commodity and more on community.
Visitors can expect exclusive brand drops, including the soft launch of Benzene, a bold new label by Palestinian designer, Ahmad 'Mouri' Zaghmouri. Jewellery label Tigresita brings a sculptural femininity in handworked metal, while ISISDÜNYA reimagines the archive through upcycled couture. Food becomes its own form of storytelling, with street eats by Sanaa's Kitchen, Palestinian coffee poured strong and slow, and natural wines setting the tone.
Capping off the weekend is a late-night afterparty at Club San Francisco, with DJ sets from Mouri, SIGA, and Nihal El Aasar (NTS Radio, Nile to Bank). The soundtrack moves from techno to tarab, bringing the rhythms of Arab resistance to this Amsterdam venue.

Shabjdeed & Al Nather Reclaim the Crown on New Track ‘MLKRAP'
BLTNM heavyweights Shabjdeed and Al Nather reunite for 'MLKRAP,' a brutal drill track with a glitched-out visual twist. Jun 09, 2025 Palestinian rapper Shabjdeed just dropped a sonic uppercut. Titled 'MLKRAP', and produced by longtime collaborator Al Nather, the track marks a brash, unfiltered return to BLTNM's signature sound: raw, politically defiant, and uncompromising in energy. Released via BLTNM Records, the track came with a video game-inspired visual designed by Legbone, known for his dystopian digital aesthetic. Backed by Al Nather's drill beat, Shabjdeed delivers a fiery monologue that blends street poetry, biting social commentary, and a kind of dark humour. 'ملك لفلو انا ملك الراب' ('My flow is royal, I'm the king of rap'), Shabjdeed growls, delivering the line like a threat and a prophecy. The track moves between personal stakes and national rage, with bars that refuse to be softened. In the music video, Legbone's 3D animation plunges Shabjdeed into a glitchy, game-like world. With digital avatars, collapsing architecture, and surreal symbolism, the video echoes the track's themes of resistance through chaos.
