SUMMARY:Tinariwen
DESCRIPTION:The exciting Tuareg band (the name Tinariwen translates to ‘People of the Deserts’ or ‘The Desert Boys’) merge traditional Tuareg melodies and rhythms with guitar-driven rock ‘n’ roll in a style known as assouf among the Tuareg people and dubbed ‘desert blues’ by music critics. The music directly evokes a feeling of longing\, of displacement; borders have been created and redrawn so often around the band’s homelands. \nThe band\, who will be showcasing their new album Amatssou in Dubai\, is Ibrahim Ag Alhabib (vocals\, guitar)\, Abdallah Ag Alhousseyni (vocals\, guitar) Touhami Ag Alhassane (vocals\, guitar) Tahar Khaldi (vocals\, bass guitar) Elaga Ag Hamid (vocals\, guitar) and Said Ag Ayad (vocals\, percussion). Recommended \n  \n

SUMMARY:Snarky Puppy
DESCRIPTION:Genre-blurring musical collective Snarky Puppy is in town for one night only. Playing together since 2004 and led by bassist Michael League\, Snarky Puppy combines a variety of jazz idioms\, rock\, world music\, and funk that has won it five Grammy Awards (Best R&B Performance in 2014\, Best Contemporary Instrumental Album in 2016\, 2017\, and 2021). \nThey’re exactly a jazz band\, and they aren’t exactly a fusion band\, and they definitely aren’t a jam band. All of that makes Snarky Puppy really quite special – a big band with a difference. The musicians (usually 19 or so drawn from a pool of around two dozen\, playing in regular rotation) are configured atypically\, to say the least. Any given song might include three electric guitars\, three or four keyboard players\, two trumpets/flugelhorns\, two saxophones/flutes\, a violin\, three drummers\, three percussionists and League’s ever-prominent funky bass. \nIt helps that the band’s members are all excellent musicians who maintain busy schedules as sidemen (with the likes of Erykah Badu\, Snoop Dogg\, Kendrick Lamar\, D’Angelo)\, producers (for Kirk Franklin\, David Crosby\, and Salif Keïta)\, and solo artists. \nAt its core\, the defining characteristic of Snarky Puppy’s music is the joy of performing together in the perpetual push to grow creatively. They also seem to have a great time playing together. This is one highly recommended gig. \n

SUMMARY:Crossbones Trombones Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Now this should be a lot of fun. The ensemble (usually five trombones\, generally unaccompanied) are a group of young and driven Belgian musicians whose repertoire mixes classical and jazz styles infused with cinematic and pop elements. The short gig\, a collaboration with the Embassy of Belgium\, will be in the Foundation’s Amphitheatre.

SUMMARY:Bastille
DESCRIPTION:It’s ten years since Bastille’s smash hit debut album Bad Blood was released\, since when the band’s characteristic blend of cinematic\, melancholic pop has turned them into global stars. So do they still sound as good\, or indeed as relevant? This Coca Cola Arena gig should be the chance to find out …

SUMMARY:Fridge Concert Series 41: Redaround / Ibby Vk
DESCRIPTION:Redaround plays a blend of rock\, pop and Arabic music that isn’t as rare as it once was – “taking inspiration from the melting pot of cultures in Dubai as well as the band’s own tastes and influences\, they fuse Arabic and Western genres in their energetic performances” says the Fridge. But they do have a characteristic style that should set them apart. Support act Ibby Vk shares the revamped venue and much-improved sound system with his Arabic acoustic pop.

SUMMARY:Fridge Concert Series 41: Ghaliaa / Mira Habash
DESCRIPTION:Multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Ghaliaa should be able to make the most of the revamped Fridge venue with its redesigned stage and new state of the art sound system. Ghaliaa’s sound fuses RnB\, hiphop\, electropop\, indie and jazz\, all characterised by what The Frdige calls “a raspy voice and versatile highs” – she’s better than that\, in fact. Opening for Ghaliaa is Mira Habash whose mix of acapella\, pop and jazz styles have delivered three Levantine Arabic singles with more than five million streams.

DESCRIPTION:Building on their participation in The Arts Center’s virtual online season in 2021 with the world premiere of their documentary Las Cantoras\, Betsayada Machado leads her group in close harmonies\, polyphonic melodies and call and response – a spirit-shaking celebration of Venezuela built on propulsive traditional drumming.
