The Abington Art Center & The Lucky Goat are please to present our 2nd Annual World Music series.
Week one June 28, 2018: Alsarah & The Nubatones.
Alsarah & the Nubatones were born out of many dinner conversations between Alsarah and Rami el Aasar about Nubian songs of return, modern migration patterns, and the cultural exchanges between Sudan and Egypt. A common love for the richness of pentatonic sounds, and shared migration experiences expanded the conversation to include Armenian – American oud player Haig Manouki- an and French-born Togo- raised bass player Mawuena Kodjovi. Under the leadership of Alsarah, the Brooklyn based group’s sound grew into what they have dubbed as ‘east – african retro-pop’.
