SUMMARY:Uncharted: Nour Harkati: Mawwal
DESCRIPTION:Greenwich House Music School is pleased to present Nour Harkati
 : Mawwal (co-presented with Habibi Festival) as part of its annual Unchart
 ed Concert Series\, part of the Baisley Powell Elebash Artists in Residenc
 e Program.\n\nSinger/songwriter Nour Harkati draws creative inspiration bo
 th from his birthplace of Tunisia and from his nomadic exploration of the 
 lands and disparate sounds of North Africa\, Europe and New York City. His
  music transliterates Tunisian lyrics into the beautiful and familiar lang
 uage of a busker's entreaty to stop and empathize. With help from Khalil L
 ajmi on frame drum and bendir\, Harkati presents Mawwal\, a show that take
 s its name from the traditional Arabic genre of sentimental songs of loss 
 and desire that shares some of the emotional weight of the Portuguese conc
 ept of saudade. For this concert\, Harkati will present new experimentatio
 ns that blend ambient spiritual sound with heavily rhythmic and unusually 
 structured vocal lines. These wistfully nostalgic tracks provide insight i
 nto Harkati's journey and the future of global folk music.\n\nNour Harkati
 's performance is co-presented with Habibi Festival. Created with the goal
  of giving a snapshot of contemporary and traditional musics of the South 
 West Asia North Africa (SWANA) region\, Habibi Festival aims to take liste
 ners on a journey of the sounds wafting through the airwaves and living ro
 oms of cities spanning Marrakech to Baghdad. Habibi events\, while secular
  in nature\, give artists and audiences the space to engage directly or in
 directly with the intersectionality of Arab and Muslim identity.\n\nUnchar
 ted\, now in its ninth year\, has been an invaluable resource for New York
 -based musicians to develop original material\, foster new collaborations\
 , and premiere first-look projects in an intimate concert setting.\n\nGree
 nwich House Music School recommends but does not require facial masks.
