PROGRAMME

Love & Revenge: «Agmal Layali» (2025)

Description

The songs of Umm Kulthum have attained cult status in the Arab world. From the 1930s onwards, the icon of tarab music sang for hours every first Thursday of the month for radio and television audiences about the joys and sorrows of love, longing and renunciation. Love & Revenge is a group paying a vibrant tribute to the singer with «Agmal Layali». In their concerts, the trio regularly bring Arab pop history and Egyptian film archives back to life. Likewise, this performance translates Umm Kulthum's songs into the present day with electric oud, synthesiser and sampling techniques, rounding off the overall picture with video collages and drum machine. In he end, Love & Revenge achieve what Umm Kulthum always wanted: tarab – enchantment and ecstasy.
