SUMMARY:The Rich Sounds of the Yemenite Musical Tradition
DESCRIPTION:NEW YORK\n\nMusical styles in Yemen are especially fluid in rhy
 thm with a wide variety of metrical patterns derived from poetic language.
  Although the musical culture of Yemen is a domain that is scarcely known 
 and documented\, it has deep historic roots and is extremely rich in genre
 s\, repertoires and configurations\, and modalities of performance and ins
 truments. Yemenite music in general\, and regardless of all the difference
 s between layers of tradition and local and regional styles\, has a partic
 ular attraction and charm\, virtues which have been praised since ancient 
 times.\n\nTraditional music life in Yemenite towns knows no concerts or co
 ncert halls\, with the most significant individual style of art music in Y
 emen based closely on poetry\, including both classical Arabic poetry as w
 ell as that of Yemeni poets over the past centuries up until today.\n\nAbd
 ulrahman Al Akhfash's performance style embodies the Yemeni tradition that
  most often consists of a solo singer with 'oud accompaniment\, and percus
 sions highlighting rhythms in subtly expressive ways. Renowned across Yeme
 n as a musician and vocalist\, Abdulrahman Al Akhfash promises to deliver 
 a euphoric performance at Alwan with Yemen's rich sounds\, traditions\, an
 d poetry.\n\nTickets: $20 General Admission\; $15 for Students &amp\; Seni
