Arab In America coming to Town Hall in February

Nassima Chabane

The year 2011 promises to be a year full of events relating to the Arab world. 

In February, ACW is partnering with Town Hall to present "Global Rythyms: Arab in America".  This is the latest installment of Town Hall's ongoing  "In America" concert series; it offers a weekend of events celebrating the Arab-American experience through the lens of the performing arts.  The featured concert (February 20, 8-10pm) features the West Coast debut of French-Algerian singer Nassima Chabane with her ensemble.  Chabane is a popular artist in North Africa, and is appearing at Town Hall prior to a concert in New York's Carnegie Hall.  Also performing on the program is noted Iraqi ud player Rahim AlHaj, making his Town Hall debut.  AlHaj has twice been nominated for a Grammy for his traditional performance of Iraqi music, and for his explorations combining Arab and Western music.
