TAYF: Sahrit Saffron, an evening of live music, bellydance, and a bazaar

TAYF takes the Color Club ballroom on April 23rd for SAHRIT SAFFRON, an evening of live music and bellydance!

Evoking the warmth and light of saffron, this evening blooms from live music by headlining band TAYF into an open dance party hafla and bazaar. Joined by bellydancers Phaedra and Yasmeen, SAHRIT SAFFRON is an expansive cultural night steeped in SWANA roots and rhythms.

The show features TAYF’s classic repertoire of queer maqam and fresh pieces. In the spirit of an evening party, their live performance weaves TAYF favorites and new songs, including multiple from late, great composer Ziad Rahbani, ever influential in melding tradition with innovation. While rooted in hits from the 70s and 80s, TAYF sprinkles folkloric mainstays into a curated night of live music and dance for the whole family.

Doors: 6PM
Music by TAYF: 7pm
