Layan Srour is a Detroit-based Lebanese musician whose work explores memory, identity, and connection through music. Her musical voice was first shaped in Beirut, where the folk love songs drifting through the streets intertwined with the raw energy of the city’s underground music scene.

She is one half of Taqsim, an Arabic electronic and experimental duo rooted in the soundscapes and inspiration of Beirut’s vibrant underground scene. Drawing on these textures and a search for the feeling of home, Taqsim blends synthesizers, sampled drums, and layered soundscapes to connect Detroit with Beirut’s resilient energy.

Srour’s practice spans performance, education, and community building, shaped by collaborations with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Jazz Festival, the Arab American National Museum, and beyond. She is also the curator of "40 Minutes With," an interview series that amplifies the stories of Arab American musicians at the intersections of music, identity, and tradition—building a living archive of Arab American sound.
