The Jaguar is a New York–based psychedelic surf cumbia band inspired by the vibrant spirit of cumbia across Latin America and its rich tropical sound traditions. Their music blends hypnotic percussion, surf-style guitars, and modern grooves to create a high-energy live experience rooted in rhythm, movement, and connection. 

Barzakh Café also offers a curated selection of small plates and drinks. Guests are encouraged to arrive early, ease into the evening, and enjoy something from the kitchen or bar before the program begins. Happy Hour All Year.

Join us on June 7th at 6 PM for an evening of poetry, storytelling, music and collective gathering to raise donations for relief efforts in Lebanon, despite a so-called ceasefire. 

This open mic night is a space to come together through conversation, art and community so bring a poem, a song, a story or just yourself — all are welcome: languages, experiences and backgrounds.

Suggested donation: 10-20$

No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Following a full day of performances across Brooklyn, Sudanese musician, composer, and Berklee College of Music alum Mohamed Araki brings a late-night, intimate set to Barzakh Café.

Blending oud, synth, rhythm, and voice, the ensemble moves through the rich sonic landscape of Sudan — from traditional roots to contemporary expression. Featuring special guest Mohamed Tahir (Adarob) on oud and vocals, the music reflects Sudan’s cultural depth, diversity, and evolving sound.

This late-night session will be stripped down, emotional, and immersive — a space to listen, connect, and experience Sudanese music up close.

Mohamed Araki is a Grammy-nominated artist and the first Sudanese alumnus of Berklee College of Music, known for bridging traditional Sudanese sounds with modern global influences.
