Music

Show: Gaida "Gaida Hinnawi's first album, Levantine Indulgence, captures a sensibility that radiates expansively outward from the Fairuz and Umm Kalthoum songs she learned as a child," writes Peter Margasak. "She's rooted in classical Arabic and folk sounds as well as vintage Lebanese pop, but working with jazz musicians—in particular trumpeter Amir ElSaffar, a longtime collaborator who was very involved in the making of the record—broadened her vocabulary further, resulting in some surprisingly breezy hybrids." Gaida also plays Wednesday at the Old Town School.

Midnight, Katerina's, 1920 W. Irving Park, 773-348-7592, katerinas.com, $10.
