KARIM NAGI
ARABIC
TRAD

25 years ago a burgeoning Karim Nagi made his Club Passim debut.

Since then he has recorded 15 albums, given a TEDx Talk, and performed on 6 continents.

He now crafts his own sonic stories from the tools and artifacts of his life.

Diaspora Folklore is a suite of songs that weave English and Arabic lyrics with articulate drumming, analog soundscapes and swooning melodies on the buzuq lute.

His tone-poems sing of immigration, revolution, retro-ism, bicultural reorientation, and being an Arab Muslim man who is addicted to dance & laughter.

He makes partnerships with his audiences, invoking choral & rhythmic help in a joyful exchange of culture and curiosity.

The Chicago Tribune describes his work as “a physical manifestation of beauty & joy”.
