Event Details

The Dunes is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and its members hail from North Africa and Northern California. Singing in Arabic, Amazigh, French and English, The Dunes mix original compositions with Moroccan, Algerian and Tunisian favorites. Songs of love and life, exile and hope, faith and transformation come alive in the Dunes’ slamming live set to get dancers dancing, thinkers thinking, and groovers grooving. The five-piece group augments a basic rock band ensemble with the Algerian mandol, the Moroccan Gnawa guinbri, and various North African percussion instruments. Presented with the Arab Cultural Center.

Grab a sandwich and a summertime drink and meet friends and colleagues for a mid-day interlude of the finest jazz, world, and classical music under open skies.
