EN- In our 7th concert of the SOUNDS series we are blessed to have the internationally renowned Tarek Yamani Trio. Hailed as a "trailbazing pianist" by the american news network CNN, Tarek blends the influence of classical arabic music and jazz elements with the masterful double-bassist Igor Spallati and skillful drummer Ugo Alunni. The resulting genre is often dubbed afro-tarab and will take the audience on a journey from early 1900’s Egypt to contemporary New York. The repertoire will include reinterpretations of classical Arabic “muwashahat” (an old musical form), as well as original compositions based on edgy traditional Arabic rhythms and melodic modes.DE- In unserem 7. Konzert in unserer SOUNDS Reihe haben wir das international bekannte Tarek Yamani Trio zu Gast. Der vom amerikanischen Nachrichtensender CNN als "bahnbrechender Pianist" bezeichnete Tarek Yamani verbindet die Einflüsse klassischer arabischer Musik und Jazzelemente gemeinsam mit dem meisterhaften Kontrabassisten Igor Spallati und dem geschickten Schlagzeuger Ugo Alunni. Das daraus resultierende Genre wird oft als Afro-Tarab bezeichnet und nimmt das Publikum mit auf eine Reise vom Ägypten des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts ins heutige New York. Das Repertoire umfasst Neuinterpretationen der klassischen arabischen "muwashahat" (eine alte Musikform) sowie Eigenkompositionen, die auf ausgefallenen traditionellen arabischen Rhythmen und Melodien basieren.
