El Pianolla to perform in DA House

CAIRO - 16 August 2017: Al-Pianolla band will perform a show of storytelling art on Friday in DA House, Dokki at 7:00 pm.

Al-Pianolla is a band that performs the art of storytelling to revive the old Egyptian heritage. Storytelling art is the oldest Arab and Egyptian art. It is the oldest way to spread, document, and pass information from one generation to another. It has been developed throughout history into other forms of art such as storytelling by music and images.

Storytelling reflects history by telling stories of realistic events and mixing them with the imagination. Hence, it plays an important role in the life of Egyptians by transforming events from daily lives into stories that are shared with other people.

A storyteller is the most important part in this kind of art. They should attract people by changing the tunes of his voice. Poets from the past, such as Antarah Ibn Shaddad used this art form to tell people about their problems and heroism.
