Attend an afternoon of captivating, genre-defying performance with Kareem, a boundary-pushing Oud player and composer. Blending original compositions with reinterpretations of Arabic folk and classical repertoire, Kareem brings the rich textures of the Arabic Maqam (modal) system to life in bold new ways. Using a loop pedal, he layers melodies and rhythms to create the sound of a full ensemble, all from a single instrument. This performance promises to be a dynamic exploration of tradition and innovation, offering a fresh perspective on one of the world’s oldest instruments.
