About four years ago, the D.J.s Malinder Tooray, Omar Ahmed and Bianca Maieli hosted a night of music and dancing in Los Angeles.
Their show, “No Nazar,” attracted a wide following and filled in what many saw as a gap in the music and nightlife scene.
“Nazar” is an Arabic word borrowed by many languages and cultures.
It invokes the concept of “evil eye” — that is, an envious glance that can cause harm to those it falls on.
The event created by Ms. Tooray, Mr. Ahmed and Ms. Maieli reflected a mood the trio was trying to create — that of an inviting and affirming environment that encourages cultural exchange through music.
