The show is scheduled to start at 19h00.
Tickets cost €10 and are already on sale online and at the usual ticket office.
Synopsis:
With the Moriscos’ expulsion from Spain in the 17th century to North Africa, Andalusi music spread throughout the Maghreb. It evolved in a distinct form with different names: Al-Alâ (Morocco), Gharnâtî (Algeria), and Ma`luf ( Tunisia and Libya).
The Al-Qarawiyin Orchestra aims to take the spectator on a sound journey through Andalusian music, which has echoed for centuries in the most cultured and sophisticated places in Al-Andalus.
In this show, the Orchestra will collaborate with an Arab-Andalusian dancer who will delight the audience with dances from the period of Muslim domination (711-1492) and the Morisca period (1492-1609) in al-Andalus.
