In Saudi Arabia’s capital, Seera – an all-women psychedelic rock band that blends traditional Arabic melodies with the resurgent psychedelia of bands like Tame Impala – expresses itself through the arts in a nation long associated with ultraconservative Islam and the strict separation of the sexes.

The word Seera سيرة means story/ journey in Arabic. Seera’s music blends the ancient sounds of the Middle East with modern sounds of rock and psychedelia. Prepare to be transported on a sonic journey like no other!
