In December 1997 the First Sufi Music Festival
organized by Yabous Productions was held in Jerusalem. This year the Religious
Music Festival - Amen is sure to be the highlight of our coming 2000! Since
Yabous Productions has created a special program on the occasion of the
Holy month - Ramadan & Christmas 2000 with concerts, workshops and
praise.
-
We have to admit that this festival must be the most important
and largest event of its type in the world. Why? Because it is held in
Palestine, the place which is celebrating the Bethlehem 2000 and Ramadan
in the same month. And also because of the spiritual impact it has on the
lives of millions of people.
-
Join us for excitement packed days of non-stop inspired music
where choral groups and musicians will perform at a variety of venues in
mosques and churches, and in two great locations, Jerusalem and Bethlehem,
besides Nablus, Ramallah, Jericho and Hebron. Groups from Morocco, France,
Turkey, Sweden, Greece, Russia, Tunisia and the United States will participate
in this Festival.
