Fairouz goes Jazz
Songs and pieces from one of the most famous musicians in the Arabic scene (Fairouz) in new jazz arrangements
Omar Znkawan is a Syrian saxophonist, clarinetist and composer who has been living in Berlin/Germany since 2018 and working on his project „Arabic Jazz music “. Currently, Omar is a fellow of the program „Weltoffenes Berlin 2019“ of the Berlin Senate of Culture and Europe and is cooperating with WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN.
