Greater Portland Immigrant Welcome Center is presenting a free concert of Soali and Arabic music in downtown Portland. Presented as part of Portland’s popular First Friday Art Walks, the concert will include performances by singer Hadith Bani Adam and the Seyir Duo.

Hadith Bani Adam and his trio perform traditional and popular songs from his native Somalia, accompanying himself on the oud. In addition, he performs original compositions that reflect his Somali culture.

The Seyir Duo, Nathan Kolosko and Eric Perna, perform music that spans from the mystic world of the Sufis to the classical music of ancient Persia. Both multi-instrumentalists, they explore an extensive array of timbres and traditions, from Egyptian dance music to Armenian folk songs.
