Event Description

This concert is part of the opening weekend of the Birdsong Exhibition presented by the Indian Music Experience Museum, which is India's first interactive music museum.

This is one concert not to be missed! Enjoy listening to a collective of internationally-acclaimed musicians from Germany, who play unique instruments like the Arabic Oud and the North African Gembri, along with the unique rhythms and melodic structures of jazz.

JISR (جسر )is a collective from Munich led by the charismatic linguist, singer, percussionist and

Gembri player Dr. Mohcine Ramdan. He gathered some of Bavaria´s finest musicians to share

his vision of an emotional Pan-Oriental sound that is deeply rooted in the tradition of his family of musicians.

 Their live performance offers an unique fusion of Arabic Maqam, the polyrhythm of Gnawa
music, World Spiritual Jazz and a bit of Afro Kraut and sets a new landmark in how to unite the
diversity of diasporic music in Europe in a one stage set. Truly mesmerizing and a must see. JISR (جسر) Band leader Dr. Mohcine Ramdan follows the path of musical exchange like a post modern Ibn Battuta of sound. The result on their debut album too far away“ (enja, yellow bird) is an ethnographic snapshot of polycultural musical traditions that breaks down boundaries,
unconventionally arranged orchestrated with a great longing for exotic atmospheres.

 The ensemble creates Modern Pan-Oriental Afro Jazz at it´s best with a strong focus set on the instruments "Oud“ (the Arabic lute) plus "Gembri“ (the North African bass) and on the ancient traditions of the Gnawa and Arabic music behind them. This is healing music for the heart, mind and soul.

Their performance will also feature a collaborative piece with Bangalore's own Carnatic vocalist R. A. Ramamani and percussionist Karthik Mani, who have been at the forefront of collaborative music in the city.
