Ziryab, the Songbird of Andalusia at Silk Road Rising

Impresario Ronnie Malley guides us on an enchanting journey back to 9th century Islamic Spain where we meet Ziryab, a former slave who rose to extraordinary fame in the court of Abd ar-Rahman II to become a polymath in a pluralistic society. This celebration of Ziryab the musician and his worldly contributions are brought to life by lively Arabic melodies, on guitar and oud, strumming a story that will make you want to dance!
