Global Thursdays: Gaida

December 4 7:30 p.m.
Gaida
Arab Singer

Highly personal and emotionally intense describe the compositions of Gaida, a New York-based vocalist who integrates classical Arabic music, Syrian folk music and free improvisations on traditional Arabic maqams (modes). Her “filigreed singing” is supported by a top-notch backup band.
