Afro Anatolian Tales

Afro Anatolian Tales, led by Dutch-Turkish percussionist Sjahin During, fuses new grooves, spirited dialogues and electronic textures into a musical roadmap for our times. Together these musicians create an enchanting bridge of sounds between the Orient and Occident, giving a voice to cultures alongside the old Silk Road. Afro Anatolian Tales continuously moves between tradition and innovation. Authentic instruments such as percussion, kamancheh, tanbur, cello and trumpet fuse through improvisation and electronics. Especially for this concert, the ensemble will be expanded with Iranian virtuosos Niusha Barimani (kamanche, vocals) and Saghar Khadem (percussion). Their characteristic timbres and rhythmic finesse enrich the cinematic, contemporary character of this ensemble.
