Tarab Ensemble - Sing To Me Shway Shway

Celebrate the end of the year with an interactive concert focusing entirely on iconic Arabic songs. While we handle the instruments, you and the audience will be doing all the singing

"Tarab is an Arabic term describing a deep pleasure state through music, and the group – with members from Palestine, Syria, Australia, Japan, Armenia and Egypt – lived up to its name. Blending Arabic instruments such as the ney (flute) and riq (percussion) with western ones such as saxophone and double bass, the result was a hypnotic, blissful transportation."

The Guardian

*Ghannili (sing to me) Shway Shway (gently) is a famous Umm Kulthoum song, composed by Zakariyya Ahmad, from a 1945 movie (Sallama)
