Duo Zamaan, Rihab Azar, Jamal Alsakka

In Arabic, ‘Zamaan’ means time but the word can also be used to refer to the past. This dynamic sense of the word resonates with Rihab’s drive in her musical journey: reflecting on the past, celebrating it with the essence of the present, and passing it forward to live on through the listener.

Rihab’s oud, accompanied by Jamal’s percussive rhythms, revives, celebrates and builds on gems of Arabic and Middle-Eastern music.
