Orkhan Zeynalli

Orkhan Zeynalli brings his genre-bending sound to DROM for a night that fuses traditional Azerbaijani music with contemporary hip-hop. The Baku-born artist has built a following in his home country with lyrics that touch on love, loss, and societal challenges — honest, poetic, and often built in conversation with vocalists, rappers, and pop collaborators.

His music captures home sounds and personal experience with real specificity: the melancholic piano on the electro track "Bir Də Gəlsəm," the hypnotic guitar riff on "Gəl Gedək." Expect a set that moves between his Azerbaijani roots and contemporary hip-hop production without apology.

DROM is a small, intimate room on Avenue A in the East Village — the kind of venue where you can hear every detail. The show is 21+, with a $20 table minimum per person. Tickets are $60 in advance or $70 at the door; they're non-refundable. Get there early if you want a good seat.
