Ayman Hlal was born in As-Suwayda, a city in Syria that is particularly famous for producing artists. A rising star in his homeland, war in Syria resulted in Ayman seeking refuge in Berlin. Trained in both Western and Middle Easten classical music, he started several projects in Germany, which have exposed him to further musical traditions. As a result of these collaborations, Ayman has produced two albums featuring his own compositions and arrangements of oriental, flamenco and jazz music (‘Felah Mengu’ with the group Azuleo and the self-titled album of Tawabil Project). He has participated in several national and international events and projects, and performed with multiple orchestras and bands, including the Syrian Expat Philharmonic Orchestra (SEPO), and Nai’ Oriental Orchestra in Austria.
