MAQAM GUITAR – A Musical Journey Beyond Borders
What happens when the rich spirit of the Maqam meets the limitless voice of the guitar?
This summer, internationally appreciated Dutch guitarist Jan Wouter Oostenrijk comes to Egypt with his new solo concert Maqam Guitar—a unique performance that celebrates the beauty of Arabic musical traditions through the expressive sounds of both acoustic and electric guitar.
Inspired by the colors, emotions, and depth of the Maqam, Jan Wouter creates a musical dialogue between East and West, tradition and innovation. Expect original compositions, heartfelt improvisations, and moments of pure musical connection that speak to audiences of all backgrounds.
Whether you are a lover of Arabic music, jazz, world music, or simply beautiful live performances, Maqam Guitaroffers an unforgettable concert experience.
Come and discover how one guitar can tell stories that cross cultures, languages, and borders.
