Zawaya is a non-profit organization that seeks to contribute to the multicultural discourse of the Bay Area with the Arab Arts. Zawaya means aspects or corners, suggesting the many art forms to be discovered and enjoyed in Arab culture. It was founded in 2003 by Nabila Mango and Haya Shawwa Ben-Halim, two Arab-American women who recognized that the challenges faced by the Arab-American community in the Bay Area requires a creative response. With Zawaya, they sought to give the Arab community a voice, including a musical one. Aiming to address stereotypes and misconceptions, Zawaya offers a genuine image of Arab Americans and their rich civilization, which can only be a source of strength for American society.
Aswat is the Bay Areas premier Arab music ensemble. True to Zawayas commitment to pluralism and inclusion, Aswat is multi-racial and multi-ethnic, and reaches out to the diverse Bay Area community with folkloric, classical, contemporary, and sacred Arab music. Aswats doors remain open to all who want to participate in the exciting, enriching exchange between Arab Americans and other communities through the universal language of music.
