ALBAIDAR DUO * MAGIC CARPET SESSIONS | Adventurous, intimate & crossing borders with music from around the world!
The Albaidar Duo will present a captivating blend of Arab folk and classical music from
the Middle East, focusing particularly on the traditions of Syria, where both musicians
have their roots. In this intimate chamber setting, listeners will be transported on a carpet
ride, breathing in the vibrant atmospheres of songs inspired by themes of love, nature,
homeland, and exile, inviting discovery and connection through the warm sounds of
Middle Eastern instruments and voices.
Albaidar Duo is a unique collaboration between two independent artists that started
in 2014 while they were members of the Prague-based ensemble Ziriab. In 2023,
Kristýna and Marwan published music videos as a tribute to Arab divas Asmahan
and Layla Mourad. In May 2024, they performed at Kettle’s Yard gallery in Cambridge,
responding to an exhibition by Syrian visual artist Issam Kourbaj. Drawing inspiration
from one of the recurring themes in Kourbaj’s artwork, wheat seeds, they took the name
Albaidar as a symbol of new life cycles and the recognition of what is essential and vital.
Al baidar/البيدر is a place where wheat, barley, or other grains are cleansed and
stacked after harvesting. Reflecting on essential themes such as love, nature,
homeland, and more, the duo finds their voice by presenting the best of Arabic music in
intimate arrangements, enhancing the traditional timbres of the oud, daf, riq, and nay
with the Western flute.
