We are delighted to be welcoming back two incredibly talented Lebanese jazz, folk, funk & soul artists from across two generations to a legendary, historic North London venue right in the heart of Islington... Firstly, the folk singer Rogér Fakhr. He released most of his music in the late 1970s in Lebanon, before relocating to California in 1981 at the end of a US tour he played as part of Fairuz band. This show signifies his official return to the top after years in the shadows, before Habibi Funk reissue of Fine Away in 2021 brought him back into the limelight. Secondly, it’s multi-instrumentalist Charif Megarbane. The first contemporary artist to release new music on Habibi Funk, Charif plays more than a dozen instruments and has released more than 100 albums on his personal Bandcamp. He calls his music, “Lebrary”, a vision of Lebanon and the Mediterranean expressed via the prismatic sonics of library music.By purchasing a ticket to this event you are agreeing to adhere to Islington Assembly Hall's terms and conditions: https://islingtonassemblyhall.co.uk/customer-terms-conditions-2022/ Stage times are posted at 11am on the day of the show on our website.
