Farah Siraj

If you saw Farah Siraj at Caffè Lena @ SPAC last year, you probably remember that voice. Now Jordan's “Musical Ambassadress” comes to the intimate Caffè Lena stage with a stunning new project that brings Arabic music and flamenco together.

The Jordanian singer-songwriter returns with her forthcoming album, Miel y Limón, produced by 10-time Grammy Award winner Javier Limón. The project brings together the passionate rhythms and guitar of flamenco with the melodic beauty and tradition of Arabic music. Add Farah's jazz influences and remarkable voice, and the result is music that feels ancient and contemporary, intimate and expansive all at once.

Farah has carried her voice from her native Jordan to stages including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the United Nations, the World Economic Forum and the Nobel Peace Prize Forum. Her music explores love, longing, resilience and the connections between people and cultures.

For this special concert, Farah is joined by her trio for an evening of virtuosic vocals, flamenco guitar, percussion, storytelling and improvisation. The musicians let Arabic and Spanish traditions speak to one another, creating a musical conversation that can shift from delicate and haunting to fiery and rhythmic.

“Miel y Limón,” “Honey and Lemon,” is a fitting name for music filled with contrasts: sweetness and bite, vulnerability and strength, tradition and reinvention.

This concert is part of the Nordlys Global Voices Series, made possible by The Nordlys Foundation. The series features artists from non-English-speaking countries on international tours, with music representing their nation's roots.
