Saudi Music Hubs - Karim Kotb, Raymond Fawzy and Hany Bedair present an activation of Tarek Atoui الطارق - A Research into Tribal Musical Traditions across the Arab World

This is the latest in a series of activations of the long-term research and performance project الطارق A Research into Tribal Musical Traditions across the Arab World (2022–ongoing), initiated by Lebanese artist Tarek Atoui that is focused on an Arabic musical sensibility known as tarab, which describes the emotional thrall and ecstatic state of the listener.

A trio of resident artists and teachers Karim Kotb, Raymond Fawzy and Hany Bedair, join to transform it further with improvisational skills. The trio embarks with spontaneity and innovation to play along with the sounds produced by the art installation, exploring new sonic territories to create an experience that transcends genre and convention over the course of three hours.
