THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

Presented in collaboration with Habibi Festival and Joe's Pub

Singer/songwriter Nour Harkati draws creative inspiration both from his birthplace of Tunisia and from his nomadic exploration of the lands and disparate sounds of North Africa, Europe, and New York City. Spiced with enigmatic strings, handclaps, muted brass and Harkati's warm vibrato voice, these are songs that transliterate their Tunisian lyrics into the beautiful and familiar language of a busker's entreaty to stop and appreciate rare beauty. With help from his collaborators Josh Ugoccioni on bass and Leo Salinger on percussion, Harkati presents a live performance of his recently released second EP Sehi, a dreamy and delicately filigreed fusion of indie pop and traditional Arabic music. These wistfully nostalgic tracks provide insight into Harkati's journey and the future of folk music.
