“ A night of passion, flair and beautiful music.

The eclectic energy of Arabesk takes you on a mesmerising journey through the back streets of Eastern Europe, Africa and ending in the Bazaars of Turkey. The music has a life of its own, highly original, but somehow it seems so familiar, as it draws upon the rich, deep cultural veins, from Eastern Europe, Africa to Turkey. Their performances are packed with raw energy and humour. It has been described as one of those rare groups that effortlessly speak through their instruments, engaging the audience and allowing them to step into another world.
