Eid celebration at Sahara

We had a lovely evening cozily ensconced in a corner across from the musicians at Sahara, a Moroccan shop on Piedmont Avenue. Mostafa, the owner, played with Yasir (on a stringed instrument), and two other musicians, one of whom is also a dancer. This gentle music was aptly described by Yassir as "organic". Tea was served, and a delightful meal cooked by the owner. Thank you Mostafa for a wonderful evening!

Sketching Musicians at Sahara's on Piedmont Ave, Oakland

Last Thursday night, I was captivated by the music flowing out of Sahara's, a Moroccan Home Decor import store on Piedmont Ave. Yassir Chadly (l) and  Bouchaib Abdelhadi (r) performed among the beautiful array of mosaic fountains, lanterns, and other home accessories from Morocco. I hope to attend their upcoming concert at La Pena on November 29th.  I definitely want to return to Sahara's on Piedmont to sketch heir sumptuous artifacts from afar!
