Sami Abu Shumays’ Music Group 🗓️September 19⏰8 PM - 10:00 PM📍East End United (310 Danforth Ave)💵$30 ticket // $20 students and artworkers // $60 pass🔗Tickets at bit.ly/TMMF26 Labyrinth Ontario is pleased to present Sami Abu Shumays and his Music Group for the finale of the Toronto Makam Music Forum! A culmination of a week-long workshop, this advanced group of musicians will be performing Ansaak and Awidti Eini by legendary Egyptian vocalist Umm Kulthum. During the 20th century, Egyptian composers developed a new genre of song in conjunction with Umm Kulthum - the Ughniyya, known in English as the “Long Song.” These songs range in length from 40-90 minutes each, depending on the performance - which includes repetitions, variations, and improvisations.  Although most contemporary singers of this repertory don’t perform the whole songs, for this special performance both songs will be played in their entirety. ➡️If you would like to participate in this workshop+performance or learn more about the Toronto Makam Music Forum, please find more details at <a href="http://bit.ly/TMMF26" title="http://bit.ly/TMMF26" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">bit.ly/TMMF26</a> The Toronto Makam Music Forum is supported by Toronto Arts Council, Ontario Arts Council, Canada Council for the Arts and Canada Arts Presentation Fund - Department of Canadian Heritage.
