Arab-Andalusian Music of Algeria
Broadway at 95th St
New York
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.
