Karim Nagi presents ARABIZED
Febuary 10th, 2012
@ 8pm - Center for Arabic Culture
"Arabized is a mash of civilizations, featuring Arab music, folk dance, and oration. Karim Nagire-imagines the Arab tradition, performing acrobatic sufi drumming, Saidi cane dances, and soulful buzuq taqasim, all within a greater story. But this is not a simple cultural showcase. Karim, through futuristic remixing, animated oration, and the mashing of Arab and famous Western songs, a unique theatrical experience is made. He will perform his original works including the melodic “Flying Heavy for Egypt”, the percussive opus “Ya Haggar”, his dance choreography of “Al-Harb Ma’ Al-Rouah” and his finger cymbal a cappella “Cymbalisms”. Nagi will also perform songs from his newest CD “ARABIZED” which includes Arabic versions of famous songs by Mozart, Rossini, and Latino and Asian traditions." [read more]
