SUMMARY:Tanweer Festival
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural Tanweer Festival promises “a three-day celebration that transcends language\, culture\, and borders” on 22\, 23 and 24 November in the desert at Mleiha\, itself a treasure of visual and archaeological significance. ‘Tanweer’ means something like ‘enlightenment’\, and the festival’s programme includes live music (headliners include Sami Yusuf and Senny Camara; there’s also gnawa\, oud\, and more); Emirati traditional dance and whirling dervish performances; poetry\, art\, and workshops. So there’s a distinct heritage vibe\, but there will be lots of food stalls too\, plus a marketplace and art installations. On-site experiences also include stargazing\, horseriding\, and “other activities that nurture a holistic sense of well-being”. One day passes are AED 700\, the weekend pass is AED 1\,650\, and camping is available.

The music comes with laser projections on to the dunes and mountains to create “a visual and auditory spectacle that will leave all in attendance in awe”. \nThe line-up includes … \n\nNawa Band\, founded in 2009 by Ibrahim Muslimani in Aleppo\, performs sacred and secular compositions of Muwashahat and Qudud\, particularly forgotten masterpieces from the 20th century.\nFanna-Fi-Allah celebrated traditional Sufi Qawwali ensemble\nPeia and Band Peia Luzzi\, an American-born song collector and multi-instrumentalist\, draws inspiration from Irish and Old World European folk music\nDhafer Youssef The Tunisian singer and oud player discovered jazz during his schooldays.
