Likwid

Likwid is one of Bahrain's most unique and popular alternative pop/rock bands. The band had earned a reputation of supreme musicianship on stage and selling-out venues like no other band. The members have been playing together under various formations for more than 15 years. Likwid is known to perform numerous styles of music including, but not lim... ited to, Rock, Smooth Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Funk, and Latin.

In 2016, the band released their official critically acclaimed debut self-titled EP.
