Ziad Nawfal Mix for Stegi Radio with guest FATEN KANAAN // 02 December 2025

A monthly selection of alternative, ambient and experimental music from Lebanon and the MENA region, selected by music promoter and label owner Ziad Nawfal – this broadcast features a guest mix by musician and composer FATEN KANAAN. Originally commissioned by Stegi Radio and produced by Onassis Stegi.

Faten Kanaan is a composer whose work uses counterpoint as a narrative tool to craft music that is mysterious, smudgy, and deeply melodic. Of Syrian, Palestinian, Jordanian, and Lebanese heritage, Kanaan was born in Germany, grew up between Europe and the Middle East, and is now based in Amman, Jordan. Recent concerts have included appearances supporting Alessandro Cortini, Colin Stetson, Blonde Redhead, and William Basinski.
