Akram Abdulfattah playing at the Cambridge Folk Festival 2023

I had the pleasure of attending the Cambridge Folk Festival on Sunday, July 30th, 2023, and one of the highlights of the day was the performance of Akram Abdulfattah, a young Palestinian-American violinist who mesmerized the audience with his unique and innovative music style. He played with his quartet “Awan”, which means “time” in Arabic, and they blended jazz with middle eastern and Indian influences, creating a rich and diverse musical experience. Akram Abdulfattah is a virtuoso on the violin, and he showcased his skills and versatility in every song. He also introduced each piece with a brief explanation of its origin and inspiration, giving us a glimpse into his culture and vision. He received national and international recognition for his talent and creativity, winning several prestigious awards. He also expressed his desire to use instrumental music as a tool to introduce the world to the Palestinian rich culture, legacy, and folklore. His performance was captivating, inspiring, and uplifting, and I highly recommend anyone who loves music to check him out. He is a rising star in the folk scene, and I look forward to hearing more from him in the future.
