International group sheds new light on Middle Eastern and Balkan music.------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspended, the first live album of
A Turkish percussionist, a Bulgarian flutist, a Hungarian cellist and a German pianist: together they form Arifa, with which they breath new life into old musical traditions. With his haunting playing on the kaval, or Balkan flute, Zhivko Vasilev plays an important part on the recent album Danubian Voyage. A wonderful combination of music from the Balkans and the Middle-East, which sounds soothing and exciting at the same time.
Arifa excels in combining Eastern traditional and Western classical instruments, as well as ancient folk music with jazz and contemporary improvised music. Arifa’s stage debut at the BIMHUIS was rewarded with the maximum of 5 stars by de Volkskrant and album reviews were equally positive. The group has experienced a stormy development with many performances at renowned international venues and festivals.
