TAREK YAMANI: PORTRAITS IN KHALEEJI RHYTHMS AND JAZZ

Critically acclaimed for music that is “full of poetry and mysticism”, in the world premiere of this Abu Dhabi Festival Commission, Tarek Yamani revisits the traditions of the Khaleeji region through the complex rhythms and harmonies of jazz.

In an invigorating style he calls ‘Afro Tarab’, Yamani ingeniously bridges the boundaries between two eclectic cultures and musical heritages. Winner of the prestigious Thelonious Monk Jazz Composer’s Competition, Yamani is among the best talents of his generation.
