The International Shardjiyskaya Book Exhibition in its 43rd edition presents a new format, where words are combined with music during the event "Poetic Melodies," which takes place at the "Cultural Café" on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays throughout the exhibition, which runs from November 6 to November 17 at the Shardjiysky Expo Center. Under the guidance of musicians, readers will learn to read Arabic and foreign poets, performing their verses in six different languages: Arabic, English, Urdu, Punjabi, Malayalam, and Tagalog (Filipino), blending the sweetness of poetry with the magic of music, highlighting literary and artistic cultures from all over the world, such as the USA, Pakistan, India, the Philippines, South Africa, and other countries. This event reflects the motto of this year "It Begins," which shows that every creative process begins with a book and that the written word is at the core of all art. With live music, the arts merge, achieving the highest quality when they unite with poetry, affirming that music is the language of the world.
