About this Event

If you saw Farah Siraj at Caffè Lena @ SPAC last year, you probably remember that voice. Now Jordan's “Musical Ambassadress” comes to the intimate Caffè Lena stage with a stunning new project that brings Arabic music and flamenco together.

When Farah Siraj performed as part of our Caffè Lena @ SPAC series in 2025, she wowed the audience with a voice capable of moving from breathtaking tenderness to exhilarating power. We knew then that we wanted to bring her back, and this time, you'll get to experience her up close at Caffè Lena.

The Jordanian singer-songwriter returns with her forthcoming album, Miel y Limón, produced by 10-time Grammy Award winner Javier Limón. The project brings together two musical worlds with deep histories of their own: the passionate rhythms and guitar of flamenco and the melodic beauty and tradition of Arabic music. Add Farah's jazz influences and remarkable voice, and the result is music that feels ancient and contemporary, intimate and expansive all at once.

Farah has carried that voice from her native Jordan to some of the world's most prestigious stages, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the United Nations, the World Economic Forum and the Nobel Peace Prize Forum. Her music crosses borders just as naturally, exploring love, longing, resilience and the connections that exist between people and cultures.

For this special concert, Farah is joined by her trio for an evening of virtuosic vocals, flamenco guitar, percussion, storytelling and improvisation. Rather than simply placing Arabic and Spanish traditions side by side, the musicians allow them to speak to one another, creating a musical conversation that can shift from delicate and haunting to fiery and rhythmic.

"Miel y Limón", “Honey and Lemon”, is a fitting name for music filled with contrasts: sweetness and bite, vulnerability and strength, tradition and reinvention.

And if you were among the people who discovered Farah at SPAC last year, you already have an idea of what's coming.
