MEGUMI & Friends at Barbes – Arabic Maqam, Jazz & Japanese Music

MEGUMI, a Japanese violinist and composer who studied under legendary violinist Abdo Dagher in Cairo, performs original compositions shaped by her experiences in Brooklyn, Japan, and Egypt. Drawing from Arabic maqam traditions, Japanese lyricism, and contemporary jazz, the music blends improvisation with polyrhythmic textures. Features Brian Prunka on oud.
