There have been lots of cultural events taking place around town these past two weeks, mostly foreign film screenings, but also classical music concerts… and perhaps it’s just me, but I haven’t been super interested. Now finally there’s a “Ammani” event that I’m really looking forward to!
From thyme-flavored rearrangements of great Jazz standards, to classical Arabic music fused with Jazz, plus some unique original music that’s just hard to label into any category… come to Blue Fig Sunday evening and enjoy a live performance from Sign of Thyme (a.k.a Zaman el Za3tar).
With Yacoub Abu Ghosh on Bass Guitar, Ahmad Barakat on Oud, Nasser Salameh on Percussions, and Nabih Boulos on Violin, they will be playing music from the band’s second album “Zad”, as well as some new songs.
Sign of Thyme are currently in the process of recording their third album, which will include eight original tracks. They’ve already recorded drums in Egypt with Ahmed Hesham (who plays with the Egyptian band Sahra, I only managed to find one video on YouTube and it doesn’t do him justice, but you can still check it out.) While in Egypt, Sign of Thyme had a very successful little gig at the Cairo Jazz Club – one of Cairo’s hottest venues for regular live music (the type of which Amman unfortunately still lacks!)
Anyways, remember… the gig is this Sunday March 23rd, 9:00 pm. Call 06 5928800 for reservations.
