Drom85 Avenue A, New York 10009
Farah Siraj brings Miel y Limón to Drom in an album-release concert, with Javier Limón featured on the bill. The forthcoming album was produced by Limón and frames Siraj’s Jordanian roots alongside her ancestral connection to flamenco, a meeting the World Music Institute describes as an “Arabian flamenco style.” The available information does not specify the musicians joining Siraj for this performance.
Born in Amman, Jordan, vocalist and songwriter Farah Siraj blends Arabic and Middle Eastern music with flamenco and jazz. Her album NOMAD also draws on bossa and pop, with songs in Arabic, Spanish and English. She has performed at the United Nations, Nobel Prize Hall, World Economic Forum, Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, and performed “Zariya” with A.R. Rahman on MTV. Her collaborators include Limón and Adam Maalouf, with whom she released “Calma.” Time Out New York called her “the Norah Jones of the Middle East” and named her among New York’s “Summer Stars of Jazz.”
