🤘🏼⚡️ Bringing that heat to the stage. Jamming on a fretless 12-string electric oud-guitar she fashioned herself, Camellia Boutros’s music is rooted in Arabic Maqam scales and influenced by her personal blend of psychedelia, folk, jazz and hip-hop. Thanks to Camellia and this amazing band for getting us to rock out in the Gardens.
