At the centre of the Arab world’s rich and diverse heritage stands the concept of tarab, the feeling of ecstasy and surrender shared by performers and audience when music is experienced with both body and soul. Join us on a musical journey to a place of raw, exhilarating emotion, made possible through the phenomenal talents of two Tunisian masters of tarab: Leila Hejaiej and Lotfi Bouchnak. 

Nicknamed “Lady Tarab,” Leila Hejaiej is acclaimed for her voice, which is at once powerful and sweet, technically masterful and full of charisma. She is a thrilling presence onstage and a true scholar of the art form. An icon of Arabic music, Hejaiej has been a pioneer in the revival of the tarab heritage in Tunisia and in innovating music in general.

From his breakthrough in the 1970s performing music by beloved Arab singers such as Oum Kalthoum, Tunisian singer, oud player and composer Lotfi Bouchnak has built up a richly deserved international reputation. He is considered one of the best tenors in the Middle East, North Africa, and the Arab world and has been dubbed Tunisia's “Pavarotti.” He is truly an ambassador of Arab musical culture around the world.
