Bait Al Oud in Abu Dhabi presents composer and in-house teacher, Samer Abou Reslan with the Modern Speech Choir featuring singers Walaa Waslati, Durrah Zghonda, Hazar and Dema Hamza in the Damascene Colours Concert.

Legendary singer and teacher Aboud Basheer will also perform as part of the concert. The concert will present a classical and modern approach to Arabic music and include Samer’s original compositions as well as traditional songs from Damascus and the Arab world. Part of the programme will also feature songs in the Muwashahat style, which is a centuries old unique musical language distributed right throughout. In cooperation with Bait Al Oud, Aboud Basheer has, for many years, been initiating a project aimed at adapting he Muwashahat style to that of UAE culture - and will perform some of the songs related to this fascinating project.
