Xine
The Xine is our love-letter to the regional music ecosystem. Written annually, it's a yearbook frozen in time. A still snapshot of the state of our music scene and the people who bring it to life - with insights captured from our XChange series of workshops touring the region.
Last year's Xine thrived through our contributors. We called upon crazy good music journalists from each city captured - Abu Dhabi, Cairo, Amman and Riyadh. Along with these music journalists came photographers, capturing once in a lifetime scenes and sights to live on forever.
Four cities. Hundreds of participants. A handful of contributors. One helluva book.

Call for contributors
Last year's Xine captured the essence of each city visited during our XChange workshop series, with Abu Dhabi, Cairo, Amman and Riyadh– each with their talented music journalists and creatives.
Are you an artist, creative, writer of any sorts, musician, stylist or anything in between? The Xine is our documentation of the workshops we do across the MENA region– and it can't be complete without your contributions.
We want you to share anything from your own written pieces and photography, to curated playlists and personalized festival fits. As long as it can be printed - it has a place in the Xine.
