About
The Munich ensemble JISR has been invited by the Goethe-Institut to tour in Pakistan, Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka. On Tuesday, 15th of March, their multi-faceted sounds can be experienced live in concert at Sri Lanka Foundation’s Nuga Stage. We are thrilled to have an artist group from Germany visiting, the first time after the pandemic has started.
The tour in South Asia is, in many ways, about the exchange of musical cultures. Mohcine Ramdan’s music project is a melting pot of diverse musical styles and traditions. The repertoire of musical influences is considerable: from Arabic classical music and poetry to African Gnawa grooves and German Krautrock, Balkan, Jazz, Tango and Andalusian Flamenco. A snapshot of a musical culture that breaks the boundaries between different musical genres and fills the imagination, unconventionally instrumented and with a great longing for new and unexplored realms of sound.
