Zamaan returns to Passos Manuel, Porto for a very special club night edition with Hayk Karoyi (ARM/ES) LIVE for the first time in Portugal & Saya (ES/PS) DJ set, decoration by Peronuno and light design by Soares.

In Hayk Karoyi’s music, the vibrant palette of the Mediterranean meets the deep layers of Armenian medieval culture and heritage.

A composer, sound artist, producer, selector and live performer, as well as a multi-instrumentalist specializing in Armenian woodwinds, Hayk has never aimed to define himself or his music within a single tradition. Instead, his work exists as a continuous fusion: electronic music intertwined with ancient timbres, improvisation and experimentation, performing both live and DJ sets.

His work has been presented in clubs and international festivals across Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Armenia, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Indonesia and Sweden. Hayk’s music is never fixed or complete, it is a living process, constantly evolving and reshaping itself.

Saya (ES/PS), founder of the Zamaan collective, creates a powerful atmosphere with her DJ set. A multi-genre DJ, music researcher and anti-racist activist, her sets weave batida, Arab club, gqom, rave funk, hard drums and deconstructed club into sonic journeys that affirm the anti-racist struggle through music.
