I will be performing Detour Guide near Boston on Friday April 28. This is my musical story tour of the Arab world & diaspora where my songs Baladi TukTuk and Arab American Anthem emerged from. Passim is an iconic & historic folk music venue that hosted luminaries like Bob Dylan.

Last friday I gave a presentation on pan-Arab Folk Dance & Rhythm to @Arab_America board members & local politicians at @kencen I talked about how dance helps us be visible & take control over our narrative. My dance soundtrack was solely my Riqq tambourine + audience clapping👏🏽

From the bagpipes to the guitar, to the piano, many musical instruments came into Europe from Muslim cultures. Much of this is hardly known & rarely acknowledged. Music is one of the most popular and loved art forms.

Making this 2 minute video helped me re-enjoy the utter satisfaction of the creative process. I made the music, designed the covers, infused my soul-cells into the whole process. Today is #BandcampFriday so check out my 12 titles at https://t.co/0i0BQTQ2ix 🛺
