A musical journey bridging eight centuries of sacred and secular traditions.
Lebanese-born singer and oud player Lamia Yared unveils her third album, From Minho to Euphrates, a sweeping musical journey that interlaces sacred and secular traditions from Iberia to Mesopotamia. Joined by acclaimed Spanish multi-instrumentalist Efrén López, the duo breathes new life into historic repertoires spanning languages, religions, and centuries.
Weaving 4th-century Syriac Maronite hymns, Muwashahat (classical Arab poetic songs) from Aleppo, and a rare 13th-century composition by one of the great theorists of Middle Eastern music, Safi al-Din al-Urmawi, this unmissable performance is a masterful dialogue across civilisations.
See the website for more information.
