SHAAM are one of the leading exponents of nasheeds - Islamic songs - singing in English, Arabic & Urdu. They are the UK's leading nasheed group.
SHAAM came together in late 1997 seeking to present and re-interpret traditional Islamic songs known as nasheeds, The group, composed of Haroon Bashir, Mahmood Norris, Yasin Alam & Imran Bashir - all young men from Birmingham, England - took their name from the place that had inspired them: Syria (in Arabic, Shaam).
Presenting themselves as heirs of this unique, ancient Islamic art, SHAAM have sought to make nasheeds accessible to young and old, and, mindful of the fact that the majority of their audiences do not understand Arabic, have added Urdu and English nasheeds to their large repertoire of songs. Their stirring renditions, coupled with exquisite drumming, have led to invitations to perform all over the world. It is no exaggeration to say hundreds of thousands have witnessed the mastery of SHAAM live & the group considers itself fortunate to count the likes of Prince Charles amongst its many admirers.
Amongst many achievements SHAAM are credited for being the first Muslim Group to perform & record live at EMI Abbey Road Studios and were personally invited by Prime Minister Gordon Brown to perform at 10 Downing Street. In 2012 SHAAM featured a sound track in the multi Oscar winning Hollywood Blockbuster film “ARGO”.
