LIKWID
Likwid is one of Bahrain's most unique and popular contemporary pop/rock bands. The band had earned a reputation of supreme musicianship on stage and selling-out venues like no other band. The members have been playing together under various formations for over 20 years. Likwid is known to perform numerous styles of music including, but not limited to, Rock, Smooth Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Funk, and Latin. It is very rare to see the influences of The Police, Stevie Wonder, Santana, Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, and Fourplay sparking out of one band. That's what Likwid is all about: a captivating and entertaining band that doesn't believe in genres, just good music. In 2016, the band released their official critically acclaimed debut self-titled EP.
