Sufian Ararah, Oud
Paul Rittel, Cello

The filmmaker and oud player Sufian Ararah (sufianararah.com) presents compositions and films from his hometown Tripoli.

Sounds from Tripoli is a live performance blending music, film, and poetry to evoke the spirit of Tripoli in Libya. The oud and cello intertwine in rich, rhythmically diverse compositions, drawing from Mediterranean, North African, Jazz, and Classical traditions. Accompanied by visuals and photography by Sufian Ararah, born and raised in Tripoli, the performance offers an intimate window into a city shaped by memory, sound, and place. An evening to listen, to feel, to remember – and to explore.
