🇮🇶🌎🇺🇸 We’re counting down the days! See you THIS SUNDAY at One World Day ! 🇺🇸🌍🇮🇶
This year, we have something truly special waiting for you at the Iraqi Cultural Garden. 🇮🇶🎶
The incredible LAiTH ALATTAR will be performing live on the oud, bringing the beautiful sounds of Iraq and Mesopotamia to the heart of Cleveland. 🇮🇶❤️🇺🇸
Oud isn’t just a musical instrument 🎶 it carries thousands of years of history. Ancient depictions of oud-like stringed instruments have been found in Sumerian Uruk in Mesopotamia dating back around 5,000 years. The oud belongs to an ancient family of stringed instruments that later influenced the European lute and the broader evolution of instruments such as the modern guitar. 🎶
Just imagine hearing the sound of an instrument with roots in ancient Mesopotamia, played right here in Cleveland. 🇮🇶❤️🇺🇸
Come early and start the day with us! Join the Parade of Flags at 11:00 AM and proudly walk with Iraq 🇮🇶 then make your way to Iraqi Cultural Garden #50 for live oud music, Iraqi snacks and drinks, art, culture, and plenty of Iraqi hospitality 🤍
