I promise I’ll blog about something other than Amman’s cultural agenda. There are tons of issues I want to blog about, but I guess the one thing that has this sort of deadline urgency is events… because if you slack, well, the event will just pass, right?
Tomorrow, Wednesday May 28th, there are four different music events taking place:
Jazz Funk at Amigo
With Yacoub Abu Ghosh on bass guitar, Hamza Arnaout on electric guitar, and Tareq Abu Kwaik on drums
Amanda Bloom and the Baidoon Bros at Nai
Part of the Nai International Jazz Festival. Tomorrow’s show will feature Classic Jazz, Fusion and Funk, with a mixture of all-time jazz covers and some originals
Concert of Classical Music at the Royal Cultural Center
With Tristan Pfaff on Piano and Clement Dufour on Clarinet
Starts at 8:00 pm
Free Entry
UJ Music Department – Graduation Projects
Four graduates from the music department of the University of Jordan will be performing at the theatre of the Union Bank in Shmeisani, from 7:00 pm till 9:00 pm.
On Friday, May 30th
Cups and Kilos in Rabieh are launching a week of cultural events, and it will start with Lebanese musician May Nasr, playing and singing (you can check out her MySpace page). If you’ve never been to Cups and Kilos in Rabieh, well… it has a very nice space outside and I think it’s a brilliant idea to use it for cultural events and music shows.
Time: 6:30 till 8:00
Also on Friday…
