The internationally acclaimed Arab-Israeli singer/songwriter Mira Awad is joined by three special guests during her week long engagement at the Metropolitan Room, 34 West 22nd Street starting tongiht, June 4.
On Wednesday June 5, Awad welcomes from Israel the singer-songwriter David Broza; on Thursday June 6, the New York-based percussionist Shane Shanahan joins Awad, and on Friday June 7, Ernie Hammes, the trumpeter from Luxembourg, makes a special appearance. Appearing with Awad throughout the week is guitarist Avi Fox-Rosen. All shows through Saturday June 8 are at 7pm. In "Arabic Fusion," Awad sings songs that reflect her unique perspective as a Palestinian Arab citizen of Israel. Weaving her passions for folk, rock and traditional Middle Eastern music, Awad, who sings in English and Arabic (with some Hebrew), creates a remarkable blend of sounds and sentiments that are as much exotic and magical as they are cosmopolitan.Videos
