Kareem Raïhani (ESP)

Dancer, musician and DJ

 

Kareem Raïhani, often called the "Dance Shaman", is a legend among fans of ecstatic dance music. He combines vocals, instrumental melodies and acoustic tones with electronic, ancient and contemporary street music.

 

He studied contemporary dance and music at the Amsterdam High School of Arts and began his artistic career as a professional theater dancer. After 10 years of dedication to movement, he decided to make others dance as well. For more than 20 years, Kareem has been blending different styles into a unique dance adventure. He mixes rhythms, hosts shamanic ceremonies, and shakes bodies with infectious grooves and heart-opening mantras. With his show, he attends dance events all over the world, from clubs and conscious festivals to deeper ceremonial experiences and rituals.
"I don't mix music, I mix emotions," says Kareem, who, among other projects, created the highly acclaimed remix of Om Namo Bhagavate, a single he worked on with David Lurey that is most probably biggest dance hit to date among mantra music, streamed and downloaded in more than 50 countries. Furthermore, his label Shining Music Ibiza soon became an act to watch.
