Tarek Yamani Trio: Afro-Arabic Jazz Conceptions
Born and raised in Beirut, Tarek Yamani is a self-taught jazz pianist and composer whose critically acclaimed work “Jazz Conceptions in Classical Arabic” is an exploration of Arabic music within the frameworks of Jazz. The result, a genre often dubbed as “Afro-Tarab” is a performance which will take the listener on a journey from early 1900’s Cairo to contemporary New York. The repertoire will include reinterpretations of classical Arabic “muwashahat” (an old musical form), as well as original compositions based on edgy traditional rhythms and melodic modes.
