Artist Karim Nagi introduces his audience to the Riqq, the Arab classical tambourine. Nagi uses music emanating from his Riqq as a tool to disrupt, challenge, and make one examine stereotypes. Through music and dance, Karim Nagi humanizes and creates visibility for a vilified culture. He has performed his Arabiqa program in hundreds of schools across America, conducted 16 Arab Dance Seminars, released 10 albums and taught workshops on 5 continents. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
