Afro-Arabic Jazz Conceptions

Tarek Yamani's album “Lisan Al Tarab: Jazz Conceptions in Classical Arabic” is an exploration of classical Arabic music within the frameworks of Jazz. The result, a genre often dubbed as “Afro-Tarab”, is a performance which journeys from early 1900’s Egypt to contemporary New York. 

The repertoire will include reinterpretations of classical Arabic “muwashahat”, Jazz standards as well as original compositions based on edgy traditional Arabic rhythms and melodic modes.
