Brooklyn Maquam, a new organization devoted to bringing together Brooklyn's Arabic music community, presents an all-star show to celebrate its first anniversary.  Takht al-Nagham, featuring vocalist Wajde Ayub, performs classical Syrian music.  The Tarab Ensemble attends, among other things, to the Sufi side of things.  Nano Raies is a Syrian jazz/pop fusion singer.  Expect music of great spiritual and emotional depth but with plenty of surface appeal.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Yemen Café has been good for years and years.
