Live Music: Maurice Louca's "Fera" w/ Ayman Asfour

Join us for an enchanting evening with NY-based Egyptian composer and multi-instrumentalist Maurice Louca! 🌍

His latest album Fera, recently featured as one of NPR Music's 10 Albums You Should Hear This Month in May 2025, is a brilliant fusion of psychedelic jazz and Arabic folk. 🎷✨

Julian Cowley - The Wire: “A brilliant release, a combination of sweltering psychedelic jazz and enigmatic Arabic folk.”
Cal Cashin - Loud and Quite: “Fera suggests a more settled identity, with a core of stability acquired gradually as the music took shape.”
Alex Paletta - HUFFPOST: “Noise and harmony in a work that remains in balance between avant-garde jazz and traditional polyrhythms.”
Cast The Dice: “Louca’s use of custom-made microtonal guitars allows for nuanced phrasings that weave through violin, synthesizer, and other instruments to create moments of striking beauty.”
