Session Details

In a vibrant celebration of heritage, the evening "The Folk Voices” brings together rhythm and word, evoking oral performance arts that have shaped the soul of communities across generations. From the Al-Shallat, which express pride and belonging, to the Al-Tareej, which reveals the secrets of love and longing, and finally to the Al-Ridh, with its collective energy and unique social interaction, these arts represent a mirror to the heartbeat of the people and an oral record of their daily stories and aspirations.
The evening features performers and poets who reintroduce these authentic forms in a way that preserves their essence while giving them a fresh presence in contemporary memory. It is a moment of convergence between voice and identity, where folk performance becomes more than just art—it transforms into a living narrative of culture and belonging.
