Hewar (Dialogue in Arabic) is an extraordinary musical experiment first unveiled in Damascus in 2003. Using an unusual instrumentation of oud, clarinet, cello, percussion and soprano vocals, Hewar allows for an open-ended dialogue between Arabic music, jazz and western classical melodies. The band features Issam Rafea (oud), Kinan Azmeh (Clarinet), Omar Musfi (percussion) Kinan Abou-Afach (Cello), Matt Ulery (bass) and Dima Orsho (vocals). The band has toured Europe, Japan, Lebanon and Egypt and returns for their second U.S. tour.
