Amal – Hope in London

Arts Canteen & Celebrate Life present an evening of powerful, heart hitting perfomances from top artists.  

A mix of  rythmns and song that stir the heart and bring harmony to the listener.  We all want a better world to live in and a community that supports us and allows us to be ourselves. Music speaks a universal language that can touch us all and is timeless, and stories allow us to feel things beyond the words spoken and films can inspire and educate us.

An evening of powerful, heartfelt performances by some of the best artists from the Balkans and Middle East based in London.  We’re living in a world that’s increasingly filled with sad news from many places, while at the same time, people from all walks of life want to live happy, creative and peaceful lives. We all want a better world to live in and a supportive community that allows us to be ourselves. Music speaks a universal language that can touch us all, and the mediums of storytelling and film can inspire and educate allowing us to feel things beyond the words spoken.
