SOUK will perform "Alf Leila wi Leila", a famous Egyptian song composed for the great Um Kalthoum in 1969 by Baligh Hamdi, with poetry by Mursi Jamal Aziz. The title translates to "One Thousand Nights and a Night", and speaks of love and longing. SOUK will be joined by Mark Karlsen on saxophone as well as student and faculty members of the Cornell Arabic Music Club, including Syrian qanoun player Majd Aldaye, vocalist Dana Slayton, and percussionist Grez Ezra. SOUK will be rounding out the set with a number of other pieces from their repertoire of Arabic and Turkish music, as well as some original compositions by Dara Anissi.
SOUK was founded by Nikolai Ruskin along with Dara Anissi, and Jesse Konnecke in 2010 to perform traditional Arab and Turkish music on oud, nay, violin, riq and darbuka.
