Live Abdeen concert at Sufi Bookstore

CAIRO - 12 September 2017: Cairo’s Sufi Bookstore will host a live concert for the band Abdeen, which offers some of the old and modern Sufi verses and traditional songs from Tunisia and Morocco, soon this September.

Sufism signifies the love for God, and Sufi music is a special genre of art that is inspired by and fully attached to the works of Sufi poets.

Accompanied by his band, which comprises of Karim El-Shatby, Ahmed Gawish, Bahaa El-Dahbi, Ashraf Osha, Eslam Simba and Mohamed Bondok, Abdeen will mesmerize listeners' ears with Sufi verses and melodies expressing the love for God, together with traditional and contemporary Egyptian songs.
