MONEKA ARABIC JAZZ
8.00

Led by charismatic bandleader Ahmed Moneka, Moneka Arabic Jazz is a project reflecting his life and journey in art from Baghdad to Toronto. It fuses Maqam – a style of Arabic music he learned in his native Iraq – and African groove and rhythm that he inherited from his African descendants. A true reflection of Toronto’s multiculturalism, the band combines styles and influences from the Mediterranean, to North Africa, the Middle East and North America. The band features members from across the world, who all found each other here in Toronto.
