Workshop – Maqam for Dancers: Bayati, Rast & Hijaz
with Michael Ibrahim

Unlock the musical foundations that shape Arabic melody and movement. In this three-part Maqam Workshop Recording Bundle, National Arab Orchestra Director Michael Ibrahim explores the depth and beauty of three essential maqamat: Bayati, Rast, and Hijaz.
