'Majlis' means a 'place of sitting' or 'gathering', in Medieval times it was used to mean a 'salon' (musical, literary, artistic or scientific). These Majlis used to include music, song, dance, literary works, poetry contests, story telling, etc.
Fun and informative, full of bellydancing goodness, artistic richness and education, entertainment and instruction: come and join us for our second annual MAJLIS.
No two Majlis will ever be the same so make sure not to miss it!

accompanied by Demetri on oud, Jaash and Zach on percussion
