Arab-Andalusian Music of Algeria

Nassima
Friday, October 12, 2007  8 pm
Peter Norton Symphony Space
Broadway at 95th St

Nassima, an exquisite vocalist and fervent ambassador of the Andalusian music of Algeria, is noted for her renditions of the san’a tradition and her role in preserving this ancient genre, which traditionally was associated with males. In addition to san’a, her repertoire includes the popular Algerian chaabi and Sufi music from the Maghreb .  Nassima, who will accompany herself on mandola (lute), will be joined by musicians on ‘ud (lute), qanun (zither), violin, and percussion, and guest dancer Amel Tafsout.
