Kokym Live Performance at Casa Palestina

Kokym is set to play his first Portugal show at Casa Palestina in Lisbon on Saturday, April 25, with the venue listing the night as a live presentation of his self-described “Fallahi Pop.” (ma.to) Resident Advisor lists the event at Casa Palestina from 20:00 to 01:00, while Eventbrite gives the address as Rua Gilberto Rola 24 in Lisbon and identifies Casa Palestina as the organizer. (ra.co) (eventbrite.pt) Mato’s event page says Kokym was born and raised in Jatt al-Muthalath, a Palestinian village, and built “Fallahi Pop” by mixing alternative Arab pop with rural Palestinian folklore and dialect. (ma.to) Resident Advisor says Kokym taught himself music from age 13, moved to Istanbul in 2015 to study Arabic music with Syrian musician Maher Na’ana’a, and has released more than 50 tracks and two extended plays since his 2018 debut single. (ra.co) The Lisbon date is being framed locally as more than a club booking. AgendaLX says the concert marks Kokym’s first appearance in Portugal, and Casa Palestina is presenting it as a cultural program anchored in Palestinian music and identity. (agendalx.pt) (ma.to) The venue itself is new in Lisbon’s cultural map. Time Out Lisboa describes Casa Palestina as the first Palestinian cultural house in Portugal, with regular programming in music, film, workshops and food, and Linktree says the project opened as a space for Palestinian culture and artistic expression. (timeout.pt) (linktr.ee) Several listings put the concert on April 25, the date of Portugal’s Carnation Revolution anniversary. Portuguese coverage from Glam Magazine and inews says the date was chosen to connect Palestinian cultural expression with Portugal’s public memory of freedom and democracy. (glam-magazine.pt) (ineews.eu) Ticketing pages do not line up on every detail. Shotgun lists entry at €30 and a 21:30 start, while another Lisbon listing gives €33.25, 20:00 doors, a 21:30 concert and an afterparty through 01:00. (shotgun.live) (cartazculturallisboa.pt) What is consistent across the listings is the shape of the night: Kokym’s Portugal debut, staged by Casa Palestina, with a live set built around a hybrid sound that ties contemporary Arab pop to Palestinian rural tradition.
