This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Saber Bamatraf (Arabic: صابر بامطرف) is a Yemeni-Scottish amateur pianist and composer currently based in the Scottish capital, Edinburgh. Bamatraf is known for his art activism, frequently collaborating with his wife, visual artist Shatha Altowai.[1]
Career
editEarly Career in Yemen
editAfter graduation in 2013, Bamatraf started working as a humanitarian worker for the International Committee of the Red Cross in Sana'a, Yemen, which went in parallel to his community engagement in the artistic and musical sphere in Yemen. He started focusing on music compositions in 2014.
Career in Scotland
editSaber was awarded the IIE-Artist Protection Fund award, enabling him to relocate to Scotland in late 2020 as fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh.
As a composer,[2] he released his second album independently, Embrace from Edinburgh (2021), where he draws the inspiration he has got since arriving in Edinburgh through 7 New Age instrumental tracks, and the sense of peace, courage, and hope he has felt after six traumatic years he endured in a war-torn country.
Bamatraf co-created the short play Saber Came to Tea with Altowai, directed by award-winning director Robert Rae, which premiered in October 2020 in collaboration with Art27Scotland.[3]
Bamatraf joined Art27Scotland as Project Coordinator and delivered performances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022, including Saber Came to Tea. He also participated in the Festival of Migration in June 2023, presenting his piece Hadhrami Nights with the Southside Symphony.[4]
