Rayess Bek & Joan Baz

In the organizer's words:

Dance on the roof

Since 2023, the dabke dance has been part of UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. In Lebanon, too, it is an integral part of every wedding, holiday or family celebration and is deeply rooted in tradition. In his latest project, Lebanese musician Waël Koudaih aka Rayess Bek revives this dance and brings it into the present with synthesizers.
