Arab World Festival

Some friends and I received invitations to the Arab World festival. There we were, in the Medley corner St-Denis and René Levesque, waiting for the show to start. The room was filled with all kinds of people… Arabic… Non Arabic… Politicians… Artists. and mostly anonymous people like us. Then the magic occurred. Out of nowhere, the music started and the spotlights revealed the Spanish guitars and the flamenco dancer. Spinning and stepping to the Andalusian rhythm, she captivated our senses and the room was breathing in time with the pace of her movements. Then came and went the heirs of the Andalusian Arabic world… Songs, dances and such atmosphere transporting the audience five centuries ago in the green plains of southern Spain. The “Festival du Monde Arabe”, a small window on a huge universe that has so much to offer and more…

The show goes on until november 6th.
