Ziad Rajab: Arab Music & Poetry at Baumstrasse Athens
An underground, nostalgic oud night.
Ziad Rajab combines a deep knowledge of Arabic musical tradition with a strong personal compositional voice, creating music for oud and voice that moves between improvisation, song, and contemporary creation. His concerts are structured as unified musical narratives that flow continuously, like a journey or a ritual experience. Through unpredictable transitions, alternating dynamics, and constant interaction with the audience, he transforms each performance into a living, participatory process. The performance also integrates the recitation of Nizar Qabbani's poems translated into Greek, creating a dialogue between music, voice, and poetic discourse. The poems function organically within the flow of the concert, illuminating themes such as love, loss, memory, and exile.
