Ahmed Moneka - Kanzafula (2024)

Drawing on his Afro Sufi music heritage, Ahmed Moneka delivers a joyful and transcendent mix of African grooves and Arabic melodies, informed by funk, soul and jazz. Reflecting on his personal journey from Baghdad to Toronto, the actor, artist, activist and his all star global ensemble draw listeners into an ecstatic celebration of life, exploring love in all its forms alongside nostalgia for one's home, through original compositions and Middle Eastern classics.

Moneka's Arabic jazz ensemble, which unites contributors from Iraq, Greece, Turkey, Sudan, Algeria, Syria, and Canada, will tour material from their sophomore full-length album (to be released in May of 2024) across North America, making their European debut in 2024 and 2025.
