SUMMARY:Yahael Camara Onono: Mandé Maqamāt 
DESCRIPTION:Beyond trade routes and history books lies a deeper current: shared rhythms\, spiritual traditions\, and cultural echoes that have travelled for centuries across deserts and oceans alike. Mandé Maqamāt invites audiences into a world where the Gulf meets the vast musical landscapes of West Africa; the award-winning West African percussionist Yahael Camara Onono (founder and bandleader of the Balimaya Project) is joined by a collective of virtuosos from the region and its diaspora to transform The Black Box into a laboratory of spontaneous exploration with an evening of deep Mandé grooves\, soaring Arabic maqamāt\, and fearless improvisation.

SUMMARY:Fatima | MINOVA
DESCRIPTION:Two examples of the next wave of UAE artistry in one evening of deeply personal\, genre-blurring performances. Fatima\, better known as FAFA\, is an artist from Abu Dhabi with roots in both the UAE and Honduras; through sonic storytelling that blends R&B and soul with Arabian jazz\, she aims to guide the listener toward truth and peace from within. Viral indie-star MINOVA brings raw\, melancholic storytelling to life\, bridging the gap between intimate bedroom recordings and global electronic pop appeal.

Rehearsals take place at Christ Church\, Jebel Ali\, between 12.30pm and 4pm\, followed by “a brief sharing of our work”.
