I've got a gig in August backing Ashur Bet Sargis and Walter Aziz. I have never played any music in this style have any of you???
It seems like fun stuff and there will be lots of hot middle eastern women there 
It is at the Gallo Center for the Arts (seats 1250) and will probably be sold out

Ask if they're doing any Iraqui Debke - very cool rhythm.
That's a very western orchestration, though - no violin or oud?
