SUMMARY:Maria Laura
DESCRIPTION:Maria Laura may be well established in Dubai\, but she’s originally from Cuba; and it shows in her passion for music – which covers multiple genres\, including pop\, RnB\, and soul.

SUMMARY:Faraj Suleiman Live in Concert
DESCRIPTION:For his full UAE debut Suleiman takes to the stage with a full band to performing selection from his albums\, including his breakthrough Better Than Berlin and his most recent release Maryam. His music blends jazz\, rock\, classical\, and Arabic influences into a sound that is unmistakably his own. \nIf you were born in a Palestinian village\, a career as a jazz pianist and composer is no straightforward journey; Maryam is Suleiman at his most introspective and cinematic\, ranging from love and romance to a darker expression of transformation and grief. The melancholy is tangible\, but so is the warmth. His music may be instrumental\, but it tells us stories – his own\, but also those of all Palestinians too.

SUMMARY:The Temple
DESCRIPTION:As part of International Jazz Month in Abu Dhabi\, The Temple makes its public debut – an evening with some of the UAE’s most creative improvisers. It’s curated by Ratish Chadha\, who also plays in a couple of the slots. On the bill: \nABRI & The Everlasting is a band that’s difficult to confine to a single genre – it plays a blend of soul\, funk\, reggae\, afrobeat\, and jazz – but one that has established a rep as one of the most exciting live acts to come out of the region. \nAleksandra Krstic is an award winning pianist\, singer\, songwriter\, composer and music producer with degrees in classical music and performance and a style that includes funk and electronica as well as jazz; she cites inspiration from artists like Ella Fitzgerald\, Billie Holiday\, and Etta James to more contemporary examples such as Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill. \nBeatbox Ray has more than 15 years of experience in music production and performance (he won the UAE Beatbox Championship as long ago as 2012). A beatboxer\, multi-instrumentalist\, and live looper with\, he’s known for crafting full compositions in real time and mixing them on the spot … \nBull Funk Zoo (aka Assaad Lakkis) is an artist/producer who fuses jazz with psychedelia\, funk\, and electronica. His latest album\, PY\, is Bull Funk Zoo at his best\, with an underlay of funk but with the unexpected rhythm shifts and driving energy. \nNOON are the kind of band that exemplifies the UAE – “an audio approximation of the Emirates’ cluttered cosmopolitanism and contemporary\, borderless ethos” as the blurb puts it\, with three players from different cultural and musical backgrounds who play ‘experimental Oriental’. “The effect is a little like a proggy\, jazz-rock power trio\, only with an oud where the electric guitar is supposed to be …” \nSanaa & The Rhythmic Circle is a seven-piece band led by Ghanaian bassist and composer Opoku Sanaa. They play a distinctive fusion of jazz with New Age vibes\, African rhythms\, and Gospel overtones. For this performance we’re promised “an intimate\, immersive experience of original compositions\, improvisation\, and storytelling”. \nSandra Ivette is a Cuban musician\, singer/songwriter and music teacher with a unique blend of musical influences and proficiency in viola\, piano\, bass and double bass to add to the mix. A talented songwriter\, she has a distinctive Caribbean style that’s blended with classical and contemporary influences. \nShilpa Ananth is a singer-songwriter (and Berklee alumna) who has managed to create a distinctive blend of South Indian rhythms with influences from soul\, electronica and jazz\, not least by weaving songs that incorporate Tamil\, Malayalam\, Hindi and English. \n

SUMMARY:Arooj Aftab
DESCRIPTION:The uber-cool Pakistani-American singer (and songwriter\, and producer) brings her latest – and very good – album Night Reign to Dubai. It’s elegantly jazzy\, earning a 2024 Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Jazz Album (she didn’t win: it was a very strong year); the Wall Street Journal said “[Night Reign’s] beauty is self-evident\, and it stands on its own”. Recommended\, even if it looks a little pricey (but tickets to Zabeel Theatre concerts do buy you a 20% discount on F&B at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray\, which might help soften the blow).
