Seffarine Live in Perth: A Journey Through Moroccan and Flamenco Music

This June, Perth audiences are in for a rare and enchanting musical experience as internationally acclaimed ensemble Seffarine brings their cross-cultural fusion to Lyric’s Underground in Maylands. The performance, scheduled for Thursday, 12 June 2025 at 7:00 PM, marks their debut appearance in Western Australia.

A Bridge Between Cultures

The group’s name, Seffarine, is inspired by the Place Seffarine in the heart of Fes, Morocco—a centuries-old square where metalworkers rhythmically shape copper and brass. Much like the square’s fusion of noise and tradition, Seffarine the ensemble combines ancient musical roots with modern sensibilities.

Seffarine is the brainchild of Moroccan vocalist Lamiae Naki and American guitarist and oud player Nat Hulskamp. The group is celebrated for its seamless integration of Arabic classical music, Andalusian melodies, flamenco rhythms, Persian influences, and jazz improvisation. Their music speaks to the soul, transcending geographical and cultural boundaries.

Captivating Music

Seffarine's music has captivated audiences around the world, with performances across the U.S., Europe, and North Africa. Their debut album, De Fez a Jerez, recorded in southern Spain, featured collaborations with top flamenco artists and was met with critical acclaim for its authenticity and rich texture.

Whether singing in Arabic, Spanish, or French, Lamiae Naki’s voice is the emotional anchor of the ensemble, channeling centuries of poetic tradition. Nat Hulskamp’s mastery of flamenco and Middle Eastern guitar forms the foundation of their sound, while the ensemble often features guest musicians and dancers to round out their captivating live performances.
