Comment on next week music agenda

This comment should have been the preface of the Agenda that you'll find if you scroll down to the next post, but somehow I could not manage to insert it and it was not showing. I do not know if it is me or the technology, but sometimes weird thing happen in the mysterious world of blogging (OK, I know, it's me. I'll try to improve)

Anyway, what I wanted to say is that the first week of Ramadan has always been a bit poor on offers on the concert side but that this year, probably because it falls in August, is particularly poor. Do not despair though, September will bring us the Ramadan Nights of the French Cultural Centre, Makan and Geneina Theatre among others. In fact, the Hayy Festival of El Genaina starts already next Thursday with the concert of the beloved Wust El Balad, continuing on Friday with the Syrian singer Lena Chamamyan. That might be enough to rescue the week after all.

Happy Ramadan to you all.
