Tarab Night with Wasim Arslan & Ensemble
Let the warmth, beauty and magic of Arabic Tarab music carry you through the night. Wasim Arslan takes you back to the golden age of music with the immortal songs of Umm Kulthum and the beloved Qudud Halabiyya, with its melodies and poems that have stolen hearts for generations. Expect to dance, clap, and sing, the way Tarab was always meant to be: alive. Following his acclaimed performance at The Voice of Arabia, this concert returns Wasim to what he loves most: a masterful ensemble, a timeless repertoire, and an intimate room of people who came to celebrate. We would love for you to be there!
