The Arab Blues w/ Mississippi Gabe Carter at Space

About

Rami Gabriel (Lebanon/Chicago) and Karim Nagi (Egypt/Chicago) create a dynamic and unique amalgam of traditional Arabic music and Chicago Blues. The Oud, Buzuq, Tublah and Riqq are used along with Guitar and Drum Set to create a sound that could have only been imagined in the diaspora. Karim & Rami express their tradition and identity through compositions and improvisational excursions that draw from their two traditions.
