An ‘Arabic musical revolution’ is taking place in Bradford this winter.
A new season of music and film events from Bradford’s Tasmin Little Music Centre is guest-curated by music connoisseur Tales From Bradistan, with a selection of events reflecting old and new musical styles.
They include concerts by the Jadid Ensemble, a group of UK-based musicians trained in Arabic, flamenco and Indian music, Algerian singer Cheb Nacim (pictured) and Nizar Al Issa, who is also a passionate oud player, creating the authentic sound of the Middle East.
The season continues with the only Yorkshire date by Syrian singer Omar Souleyman, creating a jubilant dancefloor atmosphere. The iconic Arab singer returns to Europe following his appearance at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.
