Step into an evening of rhythm, tradition, and timeless sound at Kismet Art Café.

On 6 June, we welcome acclaimed oud player Yaz Fentazi alongside master percussionist Karim Dellali for a live performance rooted in the rich musical traditions of North Africa and the Arab world.

Blending the hypnotic grooves of Gnawa, the warmth of Chaabi, and the elegance of Andalusian music, the duo creates a musical journey that feels both deeply traditional and vibrantly alive. Influenced by jazz and blues, their performance moves between soulful improvisation, intricate rhythms, and moments of pure atmosphere.

Yaz Fentazi’s music has been praised by The Guardian for its “breadth and atmosphere,” noting that his oud playing recalls “the drive and dynamism of world oud star Anouar Brahem.”

Whether you are already in love with traditional music or discovering these sounds for the first time, this promises to be a special evening of culture, rhythm, and artistry in the heart of East London.

The Neroli Blossoms - An evening of poetry, qanun & soul

On Friday 19 June, Kismet welcomes back Hend Zouari & Sherazade for a deeply atmospheric live performance blending music, spoken word, storytelling, and emotion.

Hend Zouari - internationally acclaimed qanun virtuoso and Doctor in Musicology from the Sorbonne Paris - joins spoken word artist Sherazade for an intimate evening of original compositions, poetry, and sound.

Expect warmth, candlelight, North African musical traditions, and the kind of evening that lingers with you long after it ends.

From June, along our standard Kismet Board Games, we are introducing new community games to Kismet community. This time, they will happen on Saturdays during daytime, to accommodate those who can’t join on working days and seats are limited - as we want to provide platform to people to get to know each other better. Maximum number of participants will be 30 for Community games. Games will be led by games master Yahia Aboueleish.

These games are perfect for:

* meeting new people naturally
* building confidence and communication skills
* learning strategy and negotiation
* laughing, debating, accusing, defending, forming alliances… and betraying them five minutes later
* experiencing a room where everyone is actively involved together

Tickets are in Kismet Eventbrite (link in bio). Karak chai included in the ticket (£10).

Dear Kismet community,

As we continue building Kismet sustainably and intentionally, we’re making a small change to our opening hours.

Kismet Café will now be open daily from 11am–6pm for regular café service.

Our evening ticketed events, workshops, performances, and gatherings will continue as normal, and on event nights we’ll stay open later.

This shift allows us to focus our energy on growing Kismet thoughtfully, while continuing to create the atmosphere, programming, and community that make this space special.

Thank you for being part of it all.
