Muthanna Al Rubaye
Mutana is an Arabic troubadour from Baghdad currently based in Plymouth, UK. Before leaving Iraq back in 2004, Mutana was the main singer in a five members band in Baghdad that fused Arabic tunes with Rumba rhythms.

Traveling through Europe, Mutana finally arrived in England and focused on writing new material, lyrics, and songs of his own compositions. Mutana is also re-making some of Iraq’s well-known traditional folkloric songs played on gypsy chords and keys.
Mutana performed many live gigs in venues around East London (Passing Clouds, The Rich Mix, Jamboree) and also played at Folk of the World music festival. Recently, Mutana produced his first album " Gypsy Road" available on sound cloud: https://m.soundcloud.com/mutana_troubadour.
