In Turkey, he studied with Neyzen Omer Erdogdular and Neyzen Ahmet Kaya, in Morocco with Akdii Abdelsalaam, and in Israel with Itamar Shachar.\nRachel Valfer is a passionate singer and oud (Arabic lute) player who brings depth of feelingto every song. She studied Maqam and Persian dastgah modal systems in Israel and Palestine for six years at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, and sings with several ensembles in the Bay Area. Gifted in the art of language, Rachel sings in Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, Greek, Turkish, Ladino, and Armenian. \nFaisal Zedan, born in Syria, was divinely inspired to play Arabic percussion at the age of fifteen. He received instruction from a distant relative, the only drummer in his village of Oum Dbaid. Since moving to the United States, he has played with many of the greatest Arabic musicians, including Ali Jihad Racy, Julien Jâlal Eddine Weiss, and the band Kanzaman.\nProgram made possible, in part, by Anne Germanacos.\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n
