Il Bulbul Ensemble is a traditional Middle Eastern classical group, or takht, based in Chicago. We draw our repertoire from the the golden era of Arabic music, which includes compositions by Muhammad Abdel-Wahhab, the Rahbani brothers, Sayeed Darwish and Farid al-Atrash, and pieces performed by Om Kalthoum, Fairouz, Sabah Fakhri, and others. Il Bulbul Ensemble also performs waslas, or sets, of Arabic and Turkish instrumental art music.
