About This Event
Moroccan singer, composer and producer Malika Zarra, now based in Paris, works at the intersection of jazz and North African traditions, including gnawa. She writes and sings in Moroccan Arabic, Berber, French and English, and favors clarity of text and rhythmic detail; this program at the Milton G. Bassin Performing Arts Center foregrounds voice and close ensemble interplay.
About Leif Sane JnJ Show
The Leif Sane JnJ Show arrives in New York City as a live stage event at the Milton G. Bassin Performing Arts Center, built around an unusual mix of voices and ensembles. Featured performers include Miguel Anggelo, Santiago Cruz, the Spanish Harlem Orchestra, the Queens Symphony Orchestra, and the Queens College Choral Society, placing Latin music lineages beside symphonic and choral traditions. The result reads less like a single-genre concert than a portrait of Queens as an audible crossroads. Its cultural significance is local and plain: it treats collaboration as civic practice, not branding.
