JISR, the multi-talented ensemble from Munich, will be in concert in Delhi as part of a seven-city tour in the region.

As an exchange of musical cultures where local artists from classical music traditions and alternative experimental scenes join with and enrich the ensemble, JISR will be performing with Dr. Chandrima Majumdar, a renowned sarod player.

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. 
 
From the Isar to the Ganges, JISR // BRÜCKE plays music on its way like a caravan moving in the moonlight, passing through the musical cultures of the South Asian continent. The audience will embark on a multi-faceted sound journey through Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and India. Local artists from classical music traditions and alternative experimental scenes will join and enrich the ensemble with melodies and instruments.
