Vamos Habibi: Karol G Vs Nancy Ajram

Vamos Habibi! Join us for our Vamos Habibi versus concept at Sala Sonidos. Every party will highlight two of your favorite artists from Latin America and the Middle East. As the cross pollination of Arabic and Latin music continues to evolve and grow, we are excited to push the boundaries of both genres while still honoring their unique traditions. Our second party will showcase two global musical juggernauts. Join us for Nancy Ajram vs. Karol G! Who will come out on top? Arabic and Latin often feature syncopated beats, polyrhythms, and complex percussion arrangements that create a vibrant and energetic sound. Both traditions place a strong emphasis on melody, with ornate melodic lines that are often influenced by improvisation. This focus on melody allows for expressive performances and emotional depth that are perfect for dancing to. Nancy Nabil Ajram is a Lebanese singer, television personality, and businesswoman, dubbed by Spotify as the "Queen of Arab Pop.” Having sold over 30 million records worldwide as of 2007, Ajram is one of the best-selling Middle Eastern music artists. By 2010 she was announced the best-selling Middle Eastern female singer of the decade (2000–2009). Her breakthrough occurred with the start of her collaboration with well-known Lebanese producer Jiji Lamara, when she released her controversial smash hit single "Akhasmak Ah"; created by Egyptian composer Mohamed Saad, and third studio album Ya Salam (2003) in which she adopted a public image as a sex symbol while reinventing her music. Carolina Giraldo Navarro (born 14 February 1991), known professionally as Karol G, is a Colombian singer. Considered one of the most influential reggaeton and urban pop artists, she has received awards including a Grammy, five Latin Grammy Awards and four Billboard Music Awards. Popular singles from the album include the title track (later released as a remix with Jessie Reyez). Later that year, her song "Tusa" charted internationally and was certified 28× Latin platinum by the RIAA. In 2020, Giraldo received four nominations at the Latin Grammy Awards. In early 2024, she received her first Grammy Award, at the 66th annual ceremony, for the recently created Música Urbana Album category.
