Rami Gabriel (Lebanon/Chicago) and Karim Nagi (Egypt/Chicago) create a dynamic and unique amalgam of traditional Arabic music and Chicago Blues. The Oud, Buzuq, Tublah and Riqq are used along with Guitar and Drum Set to create a sound that could have only been imagined in America. Karim & Rami express their tradition and identity through compositions and improvisational excursions that draw from their two traditions. In partnership with Brooklyn Maqam.
