Farah Siraj, vocals/guitar Andreas Arnold, flamenco guitar/bouzouki Andres Rotmistrovsky, electric bass Marcelo Woloski, percussion In 2018, MetLiveArts partnered with the World Music Institute to present three of the most creative, expressive female singers/songwriters hailing from Muslim-majority homelands. Though each presented music inspired by different places and events, together they issued a powerful call for freedom, unity, and peace. Named Jordan’s “Musical Ambassadress,” Farah Siraj’s unique idiom melds influences from Arabian music, flamenco, and jazz. She’s performed everywhere from MTV to Lincoln Center, and for some of the world’s most eminent dignitaries. Here, she performs her hit song “Diggi Ya Rababa” with her powerhouse international lineup of Arabian-flamenco-jazz stars. Recorded at “Women’s Voices” on Saturday, March 24, 2018 in The Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium, The Met Fifth Avenue. “Women’s Voices” was made possible by the Art Jameel Fund and the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art. “Women’s Voices” was presented in collaboration with the World Music Institute.
