South African guitarist Derek Gripper and Iraqi oud virtuoso Rahim AlHaj perform together for the first time for a three-night run of international string stylings! You can also catch them at the Taos Center For The Arts on February 7 and in Albuquerque at the KiMo Theatre on February 8.
RAHIM ALHAJ
Oud virtuoso Rahim AlHaj is a 2x Grammy nominee, NEA National Heritage Fellow and Smithsonian Folkways Recordings artist. Hailed as "one of the top oud players in the world" by the San Francisco Chronicle, Rahim AlHaj is a performer and composer who combines a 5,000-year-old tradition from the heart of Mesopotamia with contemporary influences. The oud is a fretless, short-necked Arabian lute central to Iraqi music. It is an ancestor of the lute family of instruments that includes the guitar. AlHaj is a cultural ambassador for the deep musical heritage of his homeland. His music evokes the experience of exile, new beginnings, and “the message of peace and compassion and love” that he shares with audiences to heal a world beset by conflict.
