Morocco’s Ribab Fusion, as Part of FirstWorks Urban Carnevale
Saturday, Sep 20 5:30p
Bank of America City Center Providence, RI
Joyful and magnetic, the Ribab Fusion ensemble celebrates Morocco’s Amazigh (Berber) culture–flying from ‘70s-style funk to Afropop dance vibes, from slow jams to high energy call and response choruses. The ribab, a one-stringed bowed instrument, weaves this madcap sonic diversity together with sounds that are sometimes gritty, and sometimes soothing as a well-played saxophone. Celebrate FirstWorks' 10th anniversary with Ribab Fusion's superb jazzy mix and sounds from another world.
