Arab World Festival of Montreal | Narcy and Hakawati Omar Offendum meet in the present tense

Interview by Sandra Gasana

Additional Information

He’s a musician, rapper, actor, author, teacher, multimedia artist and more. Indeed, Yassin Alsalman aka Narcy doesn’t limit himself in terms of career. And he does so quite naturally, blurring the boundaries of the institutional and the non-institutional, the traditional and the non-traditional, in perfect coherence. He will be one of the headliners of the 25th Arab World Festival, along with his long-time partner Hakawati Omar Offendum. One embodies the past, the other the future, and together they meet in the present. They’ll both be at Le National this Saturday, October 26, starting at 8pm. Our journalist Sandra Gasana spoke to Narcy for PAN M 360.
