Amerli from Amerli by Refugees for Refugees

Amerli is a town
north of Baghdad which
was surrounded by
ISIS for three months.
The people, notably
including boys between
10 to 15 years old,
fought to defend their
own. After a painful
struggle they won their
freedom. Hussein was
very happy to hear about
this victory, which was a
symbol of hope. He has
learned the oud at the
Musical Studies Institute
of Baghdad. His musical
activities were making
his life difficult, and on a
summer day in 2015 he
decided to follow the long
Balkan road, to finally
arrive in Brussels. There
he’s resumed his musical
activity more than ever.

Refugees for Refugees brings together renowned musicians from Syria, Tibet, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan and Belgium who are united by their desire to weave links between their music. The group has developed an original repertoire at the crossroads between their different traditions.
