“My music explores the space between Bahraini heritage and contemporary sound” - Dr. Mohammed Rashid

Mohammed Rashid

Composer • Guitarist

Dr. Mohammed Rashid is a Bahraini composer and guitarist whose music explores the intersection of Bahrain and the Arabian Gulf’s musical heritage with contemporary instrumental music. His work spans original compositions, contemporary Bahraini music, and Arabic maqam-based works, with a distinctive focus on microtonal electric guitar.

Drawing from Gulf rhythms, Arabic maqam, jazz, rock, and contemporary musical approaches, Rashid develops a personal sound that brings regional musical traditions into a modern instrumental context. His work reflects an ongoing exploration of contemporary Bahraini musical identity through the electric guitar and live ensemble performance.
