On 2026-04-15 Imarhan - Essam Live 2026 brings a rare collaboration to Gretchen in Berlin, a concert that fuses Imarhan's hypnotic Tuareg desert-rock grooves with the bold, electric guitar work of Egyptian artist Essam for an evening of driving rhythms, modal melodies and ecstatic danceable moments. The band and guitarist are expected to weave rich, sun-drenched textures and propulsive percussive patterns into extended, improvisatory jams that invite both head-nodding intensity and full-on communal celebration in the intimate club setting. Whether you know Imarhan's shimmering, Saharan-influenced songwriting or Essam's daring, blues-inflected solos, the show promises a dynamic interplay of tradition and modernity brought to vivid life onstage. With limited capacity at Gretchen and high demand from fans of North African and Middle Eastern-infused rock, tickets are likely to sell quickly, so plan ahead to secure your place at this unique Berlin concert.
