FEN Five – January 2010 //
01.29.10
byFEN
It’s been another amazing month — more incoming music, more concerts, more brilliance — all makes for another exciting month of FEN Five.
Anuja introduced us to the gifted composer-trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf, Seif Al-Din and his Music Without Borders comrades show BBC how creative they can get in the studio! Marwa insisted on throwing a litte DAM in the mix (one of the groups featured in Slingshot Hip-Hop). Sara talked with Farid Alhadi, creator of the ever-smooth and hilarious Birthday X spoof, “Firstday Fast.” And finally, we end with one of Seif’s favorites from the Bassam Saba Ensemble.
