Kemal Kabbani Concert

I was walking down the street in Aleppo, and almost passed up a music store. Something made me double back, and I'm glad I did. The nice old man in the store played CDs of the unique music of Aleppo for me and sold me a few albums. Then I asked if there was any live music in the next couple days. He went to check a concert poster he had in the store. Excitedly, he said there was a concert tonight! And by a student of the most famous Aleppo singer and musician, Sabah Fakhri. "Enjoy- I was very lucky", he said, and also- it was free. So I went to the concert, it was amazing of course, and an insight into some parts of Syrian culture. This is a little bit of what I saw:
