WORLD OF RHYTHM BY DOMNIQ
Dive into a world of uplifting rhythms. Personal stories from many corners of the world melt together. Feel the beatings of the sea. Thumping of the wind. Hear the drums: colorful and uninhibited. Embark on an extraordinary musical journey. Guided by percussionist DOMNIQ, inspired by his musical journeys through Morocco. An invitation for you. Dare to join?
The hall fills with the sound of the guembri. Moroccan star Mehdi Nassouli enchants you with his instrument and voice. An ode to Gnaoua culture: the beating heart of Moroccan music. Meanwhile, the poetic words of Gershwin Bonevacia float through the air. Time to land. To get lost again. To the sound of pulsating drums. Captivated by the mysterious stories, Oud player Jawa Manla takes you to Syria. This musical world seamlessly brought together in new compositions by pianist and Composer of the Fatherland, Martin Fondse. While all this time accompanied by the best percussionists from their own city and country... Let the drums speak. It buzzes and fizzes. Every performance anew.
