The Jam Jar welcomes a pioneer of modern Arabic World Music, 80s Libyan raï-disco legend Ahmed Fakroun.
Saturday 18th February
The Jam Jar Presents
Ahmed Fakroun
+ support
7pm-10pm
The Jam Jar, Bristol
Born in the Libyan City of Benghazi, Ahmed Fakroun looked set to make his mark in world music circles in the mid-1980s when his album Mots D’Amour, combining traditional Arab melodies with electronic music, was released on the Celluloid label in France.
Years of international sanctions impeded Libyan citizens’ freedom of movement and he spent long periods abroad in the 70s and 80s.
However, in the last ten years he has come to prominence in the club scene, when some of his early songs were rediscovered, re edited and reissued by DJs and label owners.
Now enjoying long overdue success for his work, we are proud to present Ahmed at The Jam Jar for his UK debut
