here is a great opportunity to get a new taste of this renowned Arab singer's music, performed by the Paris-based Lebanese trumpeter and his jazz team, Ibrahim Maalouf, at the Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University.

A great thank you, from the board members to all of those who came to the event and showed that we are one and made this event a huge success. Thanks to the student organizations that helped and special thanks to DJ Mazen.

Fact: Dab is colloquial slang, originating from Dabke. This is rarely understood, as the movement has evolved outside of that typically performed in dabke. Please make sure everyone knows, and add it to your facts dictionary.
