Tales from Arab Detroit |
|
by Joan Mandell
Sparks fly when an Arab American community brings an Egyptian poet to
perform the 1000-year-old Bani Hilal epic. In Tales from Arab Detroit, you
will meet storytellers old and new: from debkeh dancers to a hip-hop artist,
from a fiddle-playing bard to an Arab American rapper. Attend the
celebration of a Lebanese wedding and enjoy the rhythms of Yemeni dancers in
a neighborhood park. Hang with the Warren Street
Boys and root for the Fordson girls' basketball team, as you witness the
often contradictory ways a community weaves new traditions with the threads
of old.
