Saint Levant has released a Paris-shot, 90s fashion-shoot-style video for Masla7jiya, taken from his album Afandi, and his UK headline dates, ending at London’s Eventim Apollo, are on sale now.
Saint Levant has a way of making effortless look like hard work well spent, and his new video for Masla7jiya is a prime example. The visual, taken from his second studio album Afandi, is out now and you can watch it below.
A 90s fashion shoot, shot in Paris
Directing duties went to Moroccan creative director Mohamed Sqalli, whose credits include Lala &ce, Laylow, Dinos and Marina Satti. The look leans into a throwback 90s fashion shoot, which suits Saint Levant’s easy cool down to the ground. Lebanese creator and model Samia Kanaan stars alongside models Delfina and Manel Ayoub, and the whole thing, filmed in Paris, feels as curated as a magazine editorial.
The world of Afandi
Released earlier this year, Afandi is billed as his most refined chapter yet. Rather than reinventing himself, he settles into a quieter kind of confidence rooted in culture, taste and timeless elegance. The project draws on the effortless charisma of Arab icons such as George Wassouf and Kadim Al Saher, reimagining the Afandi archetype for a new generation: cultured, romantic, sharply dressed and self-assured. It is less about nostalgia and more about the belief that elegance, refinement and cultural pride never go out of style.
Born Marwan Abdelhamid in Jerusalem, to a French-Algerian mother and a Serbian-Palestinian father, he spent seven formative years growing up in Gaza, which inspired his debut EP From Gaza, With Love. His songs move between Arabic, English and French, blending traditional Arabic music, R&B and hip-hop. Before Afandi came the debut album DEIRA and Valentine’s Day release Love Letters, later expanded with a deluxe edition featuring Fares Sokar, NORDO and Babylone.
UK tour dates
The Afandi World Tour reaches the UK in January 2027, following sold-out European nights in Paris, Antwerp, Oslo and Dublin. Three headline dates are lined up:
Monday 18th January: SWG3 Galvanizers, Glasgow
Wednesday 20th January: O2 Ritz, Manchester
Thursday 21st January: Eventim Apollo, London
The London date is his biggest headline show in the city to date.
If you fancy catching him live, tickets are on sale now via Live Nation. Press play on the Masla7jiya video on YouTube first, and you’ll probably want a sharp outfit sorted for January.
