Brahim Fribgane, a New York-based composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, grew up immersed in his Berber/Amazigh culture while absorbing Arab, Gnaoua, and Andalusian influences. Today he is known as an innovator who artfully blends these musical traditions. For this special evening, Fribgane will draw specifically on Amazigh tradition for one of his signature, inventive performances.

Sharing the bill with Fribgane will be French-Lebanese trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf, known for his own innovative combination of jazz and traditional Arabic music. The two musicians will then perform together, collaborating to create a dynamic and original sound.
