A Tribute to Mohamed Abdel Wahab With Marwa Morgan

Vocalist Marwa Morgan will present a program of songs paying tribute to the great Egyptian composer Mohamed Abdel Wahab, who’s songs largely defined the sound of twentieth-century Arabic Music. The program will feature songs sung by Abdel Wahab himself as well as songs he composed for other singers. Marwa will be accompanied by an ensemble of musicians lead by Ameer Armaly.
