Georges Lammam, of Palestinian descent, born in Beirut, Lebanon is well-known in the Middle East and the United States as a solo violinist exemplifying the Arab style of instrumental improvisation and lyricism.
Joining Georges Lammam & Ensemble is Riffat Sultana-who channels the musical wisdom of 500 years and eleven generations of master vocalists from India and Pakistan. Daughter of legendary classical singer, the late Maestro Ustad Salamat Ali Khan, Riffat is the first woman from her family’s musical lineage to publicly perform in the west. Riffat performs a wide variety of traditional and modern material from the Indian sub-continent, including Sufi, Geet, Ghazal, Filmi, Qawwali, and Light Classical. In this performance her ensemble will include Arabic violin, 12 string guitar, and multi percussion, and she will be singing her original songs featured on Georges Lammam’s albums. Highlights will be devotional, and ecstatic Sufi songs to great saints like Shahabaz Qalander and Baba Bule Shah. Sure to move your heart, soul, and feet!
