Jazz Quartet plays Kurdistan

Yes, really! Jazz ambassadors, Alvin Atkinson Jr and the Sound Merchants on their tour to bring Jazz to the Middle East, got to visit the lovely city of Erbil/Hawler! And guess what... (you will never believe it!), Hawler got top ratings in terms of venue... It was at a hall at the Ministry of Culture (I will pu the name here when I remember it). Truly it was not bad! Although the concert started more than 30 minutes late, the audience truly seemed engaged, hooting and clapping, toe tapping and head bobbing. How great to hve the opportunity to do something in the evening other than watch cable TV or work!
