Music Ramadan Nights
Ramadan is not just about fasting! Yes it’s true that restraint is not easy, but the central message of Ramadan is to educate others of your belief. Ramadan Nights opens tonight featuring Reem Kelani, a British-born singer of Palestinian descent. She’ll croon classic Palestinian and Arabic tunes backed by a jazz band and world musicians. ‘Tis a great opportunity to check out a music style that’s part and parcel to many lives in the Arab and Muslim world (and discover a side of the religion which is never mentioned in the news). Stress not if you miss this gem as other artists are lined up over the next couple of days including Azerbaijani musician Alim Qasimov and Tartit, a band from the Tombouctou region of Mali. Both will demonstrate the musical diversity of different parts of the Muslim world and welcome the audience to see what their culture is all about. / Sophie Khan
