Attend a musical performance and conversation with musician Huda Asfour. “Dawayer” is Huda’s latest solo project for oud, looper, and vocals. In this improvisation-based journey, Huda presents new and old songs and compositions, revisited after the pandemic, and more recently after the war in Gaza, through the lens of repetitions, exploring the concept of a loop and our perception of it. The project premiered in Alexandria Egypt in 2020 and has since been performed at theaters like the Kennedy Center, The Arabic Music institute in Cairo, the Arab American National Museum in Michigan, Oldtown school of folk music in Chicago and the Brooklyn Museum in NY.
