Bassel and the Supernaturals tells the story of Bassel Almadani’s experiences as a first generation Syrian-American. His music combines soulful melodies, funk inspired rhythms, and captivating lyrics to tell stories about love, loss, and the war in Syria. A substantial amount of the band’s proceeds goes towards supporting the Karam Foundation, a non-profit organization that is focused on building a better future for Syria. In May 2024 Bassel and the Supernaturals made their television debut on PBS in a docuseries, The Express Way, regarding the transformative power of the arts.
