Arabic & World Musicians in Dubai

The oud is the voice of Arabic music — warm, intimate and deeply rooted in the region.

A female oud player brings the warmth of Arabic music to ladies-only gatherings, henna nights and Ramadan evenings.

The qanun, a zither with seventy-plus strings played on the lap, produces a shimmering, ornamented sound at the heart of classical Arabic music.

Elegant and rare, a female qanun player adds a distinctly Arabic sound to ladies-only weddings, Eid gatherings and cultural events — beautiful as a soloist or alongside a female oud player.

Frame drums, voices and traditional dress — a traditional Arabic band brings the sound of Emirati and Gulf celebrations to a welcome, a zaffeh or a National Day event.

Intricate rhythms from the Indian classical tradition.

The double-sided Punjabi dhol is the heartbeat of a baraat.

Thunderous, disciplined and visually striking, taiko is Japanese drumming as performance.

Djembe rhythms, dancers and an energy that spreads through a crowd.
