Macalla

Celebrate the sound of Macalla in this intimate taster show at the Blue Room in the Harrison Chambers of Distinction ahead of their headline concert at the Belfast City Hall Gig Rig as part of the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.

The music ensemble, featuring members of the Mashakt Collective from Iraq, joins local players from the North West Folk Collective to blend the traditional sounds of Irish and Middle Eastern music.  Aptly translated as ‘echo’ in Irish, the ensemble explores the melodies and instrumentation that mirror both cultures, with Irish harp, pipes, bouzouki and fiddle combining with oud, qanun and Middle Eastern percussion – traversing the old to create something entirely new!  Recently featured at Celtic Connections, Glasgow's folk, roots and world music festival, Macalla is supported by the British Council and co-created in partnership with Earagail Arts Festival, Donegal. 

Complimentary glass of wine, limited tickets.
