Layali el Hob with NESMA

Layali el Hob - new inspirational conversation series coming to RAQSoul!

Starting on the 5th of March, I invite you to join us for Layali Hob - a warm, free-flowing monthly conversation series with artists from the world of raqs sharki, who are especially dear to my heart.

Why Layali el Hob?
The name Layali el Hob ("Nights of Love") is a tribute to those evenings on the first Thursday of each month, often related to as Leylet Hob ("Night of Love") when Oum Kalthoum's concerts were broadcast on the Egyptian radio, and people of the Arab world from all walks of life gathered to listen to the legendary Voice of Egypt.

I will be chatting with artists who are special to me, creating a cozy togetherness that you can be part of: with your questions or simply your presence. Getting to know someone better is the perfect inspiration.

I'm beyond excited to reveal the first guest of our Layali el Hob series. A true diamond in the world of raqs sharki who never stops amazing me with her unmistakable, graceful style and unique artistic vision: NESMA from Spain.

She's been an endless source of inspiration for me - both as an artist and as a human being - and I can’t wait to share this warm, intimate evening chat with her and all of you.

Join us on Thursday, 5th March at 8 p.m. (CET).

Participation is open to everyone. Just sign up to RAQSoul - no membership required.
