Thursday, October 22 - Al-Murtaja: A Celebration of Sudanese Music
Sudan is heir to an extremely rich tradition of musical, dramatic, and artistic expression, and has a long history of music that has not been well-exposed or documented due to civil and political turmoil. Al-Murtaja can be translated as “the thing—or person—people are waiting for.” This concert fulfills that wish by featuring musicians from all parts of Sudan and South Sudan to create a sense of shared cultural identity
Legendary Sudanese musicians Abu Araki Al Bakheit, Emmanuel Jal, Asim Gorashi, and Mohamed Tahir perform their own music and traditional Sudanese music with an international student group led by Sudanese student Mohamad Araki. Admission: $8/$12 in advance, $12/$16 day of show. 8:00 p.m
