About AWE:
Founded in 2012 by Nabila Mango, Aswat Women’s Ensemble is the only all-female Arab music group in the United States. Based in the Bay Area, the ensemble is dedicated to the preservation and celebration of Arabic musical traditions, ranging from classical and folkloric to contemporary styles. Beyond its diverse repertoire, AWE serves as a vital space for female agency, empowering its members to lead artistic and programming decisions through performance and collaboration.
For this special concert, they will be performing lively wedding songs from the Arab world, directed by violinist Briana Di Mara and joined by special guests Salma El Assal (vocals) and Nicole Maria (dance). Please don't miss this extraordinary night!
