“Syrian Heart. Midwest Soul. Deeply inspired by Otis Redding, Bassel & The Supernaturals combine soulful melodies and funk-inspired rhythms with captivating lyrics regarding love, loss, and the war in Syria, telling the story of Bassel Almadani’s experience as a first generation Syrian-American. In addition to performing at major festivals, performance halls, and clubs – the group works closely with organizations on events and residencies that build awareness and empathy for Syrian refugees. A substantial portion of their proceeds benefit the Karam Foundation, a non-profit group focused on building a better future for Syria.
The band’s 2017 release, Elements, led to their involvement in the SXSW showcase ContraBanned: #MusicUnites, featuring artists from the diaspora of countries targeted by the travel ban. They’ve since been featured on PRI, Al Jazeera, Reuters, Paste Magazine, Huffington Post, NowThis, and others. The album draws inspiration from artists such as Snarky Puppy, Jamiroquai, and Steely Dan’s Aja. The 2020 track “Stepping Back in Time” was featured on Spotify’s official “All Funked Up” playlist and recently surpassed 500,000 streams. Huffington Post commented: “With a powerful message, Bassel & The Supernaturals bring fans on a soulful journey that is brilliant in every way.”
