Alexandros Papadimitrakis, oud & lavta Lingua Franca is an ensemble dedicated to the music of the Aegean Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean. In the 20th century Greece, Turkey and Syria developed into states with their own national identity, but the musical roots of this identity stem from common musical underlying principles. In the cosmopolitan reality of the Ottoman Empire of yore a musical language was created that reached much farther than the current national limits would suggest. Lingua Franca takes the audience on an emotional journey accompanied by a soundscape of dreamy improvisations or taqsim, rousing dance and lyric poetry. www.michalischolevas.com www.myspace.com/bassemalkhouri EventList powered by schlu.net |
