Saint Levant

Marwan Abdelhamid, known professionally as Saint Levant, was born in Jerusalem during the second Intifada to a French-Algerian mother and a Serbian-Palestinian father. After From Gaza with Love, Deira and Love Letters, Saint Levant returns with AFANDI, his highly anticipated new album and a cultural statement exploring identity, nostalgia and modern Arab expression. Inspired by the timeless charisma of Arab icons such as George Wassouf and Kadim Al Saher, the album reimagines the classic Afandi archetype through his unmistakably contemporary lens, blending traditional influences with modern production in a deeply personal take on Arab identity, rooted in heritage yet firmly of the moment. “AFANDI is a celebration of an identity that has always inspired me,” says Saint Levant. “I wanted to honor a generation that shaped our music, style, and culture while reimagining that legacy through my own perspective. This album is about creating a dialogue between the past and the present, showing that authenticity has the power to transcend generations.” As his global reach expands, AFANDI further blurs the lines between music, fashion and culture, translating personal and cultural narratives into a sound that resonates far beyond borders. The album comes to life on the AFANDI Nights World Tour across Europe and North America, a production inspired by the golden era of Levantine nightlife that pairs live music with cinematic visuals and storytelling for a fully immersive experience.
