If you have the chance, check out this opportunity to hear the rich musical tradition of North Africa, which has been influenced by many cultures including Andalucian Spain. This Friday at 8pm, World Music Institute is hosting Nassima at Symphony Space.
Arab-Andalusian Music of Algeria
Nassima
Broadway at 95th St
New York
Nassima, an exquisite vocalist and fervent ambassador of the Andalusian music of Algeria, is noted for her renditions of the san’a tradition and her role in preserving this ancient genre, which traditionally was associated with males. In addition to san’a, her repertoire includes the popular Algerian chaabi and Sufi music from the Maghreb . Nassima, who will accompany herself on mandola (lute), will be joined by musicians on ‘ud (lute), qanun (zither), violin, and percussion, and guest dancer Amel Tafsout.
