In the second edition of his ‘INVITE’ series, Ali Omar El-Farouk invites Nadine El Seragy with the beautiful operatic voice to perform together a selection of Arabic songs from the 40s to the 60s and beyond. Their repertoire includes songs by great figures such as Farid Al Atrash, Mohamed Abd El Wahab, and others. In their first-time collaboration, this duo pays tribute to some of these classics in their original traditional style, while others are reinvented with more contemporary arrangements.
A performance not to be missed!
