The tour of the Munich ensemble JISR 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.

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.

It has always been a desire of the band to have local musicians from classical music traditions and alternative experimental scenes to join and enrich the ensemble with melodies and instruments. Moreover, we are glad to have the Violin sisters Lalitha & Nandini joining the band in Chennai in this exclusive concert.
