The tour of the Munich ensemble, JISR in South Asia is about the exchange of musical cultures in many ways. Mohcine Ramdan's music project is a melting pot of diverse musical styles and traditions. The repertoire and musical influences are from Arabic classical music and poetry, African Gnawa grooves to German Krautrock, Balkan, Jazz, Tango and Andalusian Flamenco. JISR’s music is an ethnographic snapshot of a polycultural music that breaks the boundaries between different musical genres and making a space for musical imaginations. The music is unconventionally instrumented exploring and integrating the many sounds from around the world.
For 'From the Isar to the Ganges', JISR // BRÜCKE will present music as if it is moving on its way like a caravan, moving in the moonlight, passing through the musical cultures of the South Asian continent. The audience will have the chance to embark on a multi-faceted sound journey through Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and India.
