ALBUM LAUNCH
plus supportRÍONA SALLY HARTMAN^ Upstairs ^
On May 25th, Palestinian vocalist, Ruba Shamshoum will launch her debut album ‘Shamat’ (Beauty Spots) at Whelan’s – upstairs. Ruba’s music draws from the harmony, sensibility, improvisation and playfulness of jazz, mixed with tinges of Middle Eastern and Arabic musical elements, that compliment her style. Ruba sings in both Arabic and English, and uses music to deal with exile, anger, lack of communication, fear and love.
————————————————————————————————————
Support on the night from the unique Ríona Sally Hartman playing a stripped down duo set.
“The craft of the songs draws you in – delicate vocal harmonies and sparse acoustic settings, fresh and unclichéd… bearing most comparison with intrepid New York singers like Theo Bleckmann and Becca Stevens.” – The Irish Times
