From the Promoter

RUBA SHAMSHOUM

Join us on Saturday, September 21 at Lee's Palace for a musical journey you won't forget.

Ruba Shamshoum is a Palestinian musician, born and raised in Nazareth. Ruba’s music draws from the harmony, sensibility, improvisation, and playfulness of jazz, mixed with tinges of Middle Eastern and Arabic musical elements that compliment her style and bring it to unique and distinctive places.

“Jazzy, soulful and heart-felt, her catchy compositions are infectiously delightful. Her formal jazz training is evident in
the improvised vocal scat she peppers into her songs that
creates a beautifully vintage atmosphere of a bygone era.”
Mideast Tunes

"For us, the artist discovery of the year. The Dublin-based
Palestinian musician and vocalist has given us hours of
boundless joy whistling (badly) to her tunes. A must listen,
she is quality through and through.” Dandin

“Quite simply, it’s one of the most brilliantly adventurous
records you’ll hear this year - so make sure and get in on
the ground floor as Ruba’s rise commences...” Peter
McGoran, Hot Press

Do not miss this rare opportunity to see Ruba in Toronto!
