FIESTA Marbella has announced that the Queen of Arab Pop Nancy Ajram will be flying over to Marbella to perform her first concert in mainland Spain, on Thursday 8th of August 2024.
Nancy Ajram is a Lebanese singer, television personality, and businesswoman, and one of the best-selling artists in Arabic Pop history. She has been performing for two decades, has released 12 studio albums and regularly tops the charts in the Middle East and North Africa. Nancy Ajram is a social media sensation, with nearly 40 million followers on Instagram and 30 million followers on Facebook.
Music promoters FIESTA are delighted to announce her involvement in the FIESTA Marbella 2024 music festival and bring her to Marbella for the very first time. She is headlining their Arabian Nights event, which is taking place on August 8th in Marbella Arena, Puerto Banus.
Festival organizer Steve Durham explains, “With our Arabian Nights event, we will be highlighting the music, dancing and traditions of Arabia. There will be singers, dancers and DJs, luxury and entertainment which echoes the vibrant soul of Arabia and its history. We are delighted that Nancy Ajram has agreed to be our headline act and can’t wait to showcase the amazing music and culture of Arabia in Marbella. Marbella attracts thousands of Arabic speaking tourists every year and has a strong Moorish influence in its culture and architecture, so it seemed like the perfect place to hold this celebration of the music and culture of the region and make it easier for fans in Europe and North Africa to come and see Nancy Ajram live.”
Singer and performer Aimar Habibii will also be performing at the Arabian Nights event on August 8th.
Aimar Habibii was born and raised in Marbella and has been performing since the age of ten years old, becoming a finalist in the TV show “Se Llama Copla” at just 16. Since then, he’s been performing around the world and collaborating with artists from many distinct musical genres. He has a strong following in the Arab world, performing at festivals and events in Morocco, Dubai and Egypt and collaborating with artists from a wide range of musical styles including Rai music, Egyptian music and music from the Middle East. His single Fatima is a perfect example of the international fusion that he loves so much, which combines flamenco and Arabic musical styles and made him an obvious choice to perform at FIESTA’s Arabian Nights event.
Aimar Habibii is delighted to be involved in this unique event, “It’s an honour to represent my home town of Marbella as an Artist and Ambassador, as part of the great festival FIESTA Marbella. It was about time for a spectacular festival like this to come to Marbella. It will great for the town to host this event, full of Arabic culture, music and Flamenco.”
The Arabian Nights event is part of the five-day music festival FIESTA Marbella 2024. Organized by Bill Blenkarn and Steve Durham, serious music promoters with a stellar record, this promises to be an epic celebration of global music and talent.
