World renowned Palestinian diva Reem Kelani

The U.S. Premiere – May 12-17 at Seattle Center

Born in England and raised in Kuwait, Reem Kelani is one of the foremost scholars and performers of Palestinian music. With her engaging stage presence, angelic voice, sparkling wit, and a band that features some of the finest traditional and jazz players in London, Reem charts the cultural terrain of Arabic music. Her powerful concerts feature traditional songs learned on visits to Palestinian refugee camps, and her own compositions, that have brought audiences around the world to their feet.

"(The performance) had everything: drama, emotion, education, humour, power, musicianship, surprises, and above all a level of musical and personal integrity that shone through the whole set.” – Folkdevils.com
