Nibal Malshi: Arabic Blessings

The Palestinian-born US resident singer Nibal Malshi in excerpts and commentary on selections from the 20th-century classical Arab repertoire of the Levantine – Egyptian region, highlighting songs performed by female singers from Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon. In 2021 Malshi performed at Roulette with an ensemble led by master qanun (zither) player Firas Zreik with Zafer Tawil on oud (lute), John Murchison on bass, Johnny Farraj on riqq (small frame drum), and Gilbert Mansour on tabla. In 2023 the ensemble was again Mansour and Murchison led by master violinist Gabriel Dahrieh with Maurice Chedid (oud) and Eddy Fadel (percussion). Portions of these recordings were co-presented by Roulette, Brooklyn Maqam, and Robert Browning Associates, who have been bringing music of the world to New York venues for decades. Malshi returns to Roulette on March 15, 2025.
