A night of Inshad and Sufi praise at Royal Opera House Muscat

Muscat: Royal Opera House Muscat (ROHM) will celebrate an evening of Inshad and Sufi praise on December 14 at 7pm. The evening of devotional music will feature an excellent selection of three renowned religious bands and highly respected singers.
Oman’s own Al Zawiya Band will combine traditional culture with modern Inshad, as the band members continue their grandfathers’ practice of Al Malid, known as “the axis of the art of Omani song”.
Also performing will be Al Masarra, a traditional Yemeni band that offers beautiful songs in noble praise of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). The third band, Morocco’s Arhoom Al Baqal, is celebrated at home and across international festivals for its expertise in the art of Sufism.
The singers for the evening will include two stars, Syrian Bashar Zarqan, who draws on Arab poetry from classical to modern times, composing songs based on the content and rhythm of poems, and Tanzanian Yahya Bihaki Hussein, who was educated in classical Arab and Sufi music and now has legendary status in her homeland. This wonderful assemblage of bands and singers will inspire everyone who attends this beautiful and very special concert of devotional music.
