Coffeeshop Hafla

Our hafla (party) started out Lebanese style, featuring singers Basil Touma and Rana Beyruti performing traditional Levantine songs, mawwal, jabali and debkah. Dance with local Bay Ridge debkah group and taste Tarboosh's shisha flavors and mezzes. The evening continued with Brooklyn Tunisian vocalist Ahlem singing a cocktail of Arab classics and pop. The night concluded with a special raqs sharqi (bellydance) performance by Brooklyn-based dancer LaUra. Jawad and Hisham join us on org and tabla.
