Their route starts in Syria, passes through Kurdistan, takes them to Irak and Iran and continue to Europe. Bouzouk, Santur and Geychek combined with Clarinet, Hang, Percussion and Overtone establish a whole new world of sounds, moving very smoothly between oriental and occidental music. Salah Ammo’s composition and his emotionally strong and moving voice lead the way, inspired by kurdish and arabic folk music. Thereby he creates a space where different worlds of music meet and unite. Words are replaced by music in the dialogue between the distinguished musicians. The melting of oriental improvasitaion, Maquam and Takassim with jazz influences and harmonies create a happy marriage of different genres. The strong bond between the musicians that goes beyond their work, reflects the joy and beauty of their deep music. You can feel it by taking part of this musical journey which opens your heart and imagination and releases your body. https://salahammo.com/artists/salah-a...
