Fairouz has long been Rasha’s singing idol and inspiration. Together, Rasha and Ravshan will take you through songs of joy, love, longing, and memories of home. Between songs, Rasha will share their meanings and introduce the maqamat, the melodic traditions that give Arabic music its expressive character.
