Ilham & Friends, Live at The Courtyard
Jazzing up the mood with the advent of summer, ATICO Fakhreldin Group opened its doors to music-lovers with its “Ilham & Friends” concert on June, at The Courtyard. The event starred renowned Arabic artist Ilham Al Madfai, and international professional Jazz musicians Bernard Ayisa, Alvin Hendricks, Philip Meintjies, and Valentia Ferlito, as well as local musicians Macadi Nahhas and Omar Faqir. The concert was presented by MY Management, the first artist management company in Jordan, and was covered by Sunny FM 105.1.
The “Ilham & Friends” concert is testament to ATICO Fakhreldin Group’s standing reputation as a trendsetter in both the hospitality and entertainment sectors, having previously hosted some of the most popular and talked-about events, as well as international artists and local talents’ performances.
This latest event was unique as, unlike other Ihlam Al Madf’ai concerts, it included a new and exciting alternative on the Jordanian music scene, with the introduction of Jazz, Blues, and Latin Jazz to the program. The repertoire included songs like Take 5, Girl from Epanema, Fly Me to the Moon, and a variety of Ella Fitzgerald songs, among many others.
Commenting on the concert, ATICO Fakhreldin Group’s Chief Operating Officer, Azzam Fakhriddin, said, “It is time for ‘Jazz and Al Madfai,’ an exotic mix of east and west. We, at ATICO Fakhreldin Group, believe that variety is the spice of life, in both the entertainment and hospitality sectors, and so we constantly strive to diversify, bringing that dash of zesty flavor that all can enjoy. We aim at providing our customers with the very best and latest trends and, with this concert, we promise them an unforgettable experience that will leave them wanting more.”
