An all-star ensemble of some of the UAE’s most creative improvisers unite for spontaneous, genre-blending performances
The Temple, Dubai's hidden gem and a cornerstone of the UAE's closely-knit music community, where the pulse of the underground live music scene beats strongest, comes to Abu Dhabi for the first time, curated by drummer Ratish Chadha (NOON, Abri & the Everlasting).
Nestled in Al Quoz's warehouse district, The Temple is an intimate venue where experienced musicians from diverse backgrounds come together in performance. From ouds and sitars to synthesizers and electric guitars, The Temple pulsates with creativity and immersive soundscapes. Experience dynamic performances in Arabic, Spanish, and English, with a rich blend of Jazz, Hip-hop, Reggae, Afro-funk, Oriental fusion, and more. The Temple is more than a venue/collective; it's a testament to the resilience of creativity and the spirit of collaboration that transcends geographical and cultural divides.
Curated by Ratish Chadha, the night includes members of NOON, Abri & the Everlasting, Sanaa & Friends, and more including Aleksandra Krstic, Hamdan Al Abri, Jerome Deligero, Maria Laura, Mohamed Hosny, Nikhil Mukhi, Opoku Sanaa, Sanda Ivette, and Steven Craig Bedford.
