🎤 PERFORMANCE & MUSIC

What styles of music do you perform?

Arabic classics (Lebanese, Egyptian, Syrian, Iraqi, Khaliji…)
Rami El Mir originals
Modern Arabic hits
Romantic English ballads
Dance-floor favourites
Zaffé entrances
Bridal Waltz & Father–Daughter dance

Your personal favourites always take priority.

Do you perform the Zaffé / Bridal Entrance?

Yes, Zaffé and bridal entrances are one of my specialties.
*They are priced separately from the main performance sets.

Can you learn a new song for our first dance or entrance?

Absolutely! I can learn and perform a special song live to create an unforgettable moment.
If another band is performing (other than our team), we’ll need to confirm they are familiar with the song.

If not, rehearsals or arrangement preparation may be required (additional charges may apply).

I also offer the option to create custom Mawals or personalised songs, either as part of the event or as a fully produced track (music, lyrics, vocals, etc.).
Additional charges apply.

Do you take song requests from guests?

Yes, as long as they suit the atmosphere and flow of the event.

How long do you perform?

Typical performance durations:

Reception: Sets of 40–45 minutes/set
Bridal Entrance: 5–12 minutes
Private Events: Fully customised

The plan is tailored with you during the preparation process.

Do you perform with a DJ or live band? Is booking your team obligatory?

For the best results, a live band is highly recommended.
My team is preferred, as we work together regularly — ensuring quality, smooth coordination, and a stress-free experience.

However, I’m happy to collaborate with other talented musicians if they share the same commitment to making your event exceptional.
