the Arab Blues
The Arab Blues returns to New York in celebration of their new album ‘Deserted.’
Karim Nagi is an Egyptian native and Rami Gabriel is a Lebanese native – together, as The Arab Blues, they bridge the gap between tradition and innovation, using their Middle Eastern heritage and passions for Chicago’s jazz and blues scene. Gabriel plays guitar, oud and buzuq, while Nagi plays riqq and tublah, at least. The result is an original expression of immigrant artistry with passionate musicality and revolutionary attitude.
