Brooklyn Maqam is an organization dedicated to presenting Middle Eastern (in particular, Arabic) music, with the goals of expanding its audience, preserving it as an art form, and building community centered around the music.

Ameer Armaly and Friends

Oud player Ameer Armaly will present a program of songs from the golden age of Arabic music in collaboration with three singers, each with their own vocal and musical style. The program will include songs from Egypt, Syria and Iraq and will showcase some of the many styles of music present in the Arab world. The singers will be accompanied by a takht or traditional small ensemble.Born in South Carolina, Ameer Armaly was exposed to Arabic music from an early age through his uncle who played the oud. He then went on to study under oud masters Simon and Najib Shaheen. In 2018, he graduated with a Ph.D in computer science from the University of Notre Dame and currently works for Google where he works on making Android devices more accessible to the blind.
