Oran Etkin Kelnia Concert et Interview En Francais Avec Kouyate. Jazz Africain Juif Klezmer
The music that Oran Etkin creates with his Kelenia project is an aural reflection of the new global landscape, painted by a young clarinetist/bass-clarinetist/saxophonist born in a small town in Israel, now living in New York and drawing on over a decade of work with Malian musicians. Etkin's distinctive sound is honest and unforced, infused with the constant presence of ancient influences -- reverberations from the Malian Empire and the ages-old cry of the Jewish prayer. At the same time it resonates with an urban vibe and the energy of the modern New York jazz scene.

Oran Etkin's album Kelenia fuses traditional Malian and Jewish music with modern jazz creating what the Boston Globe dubbed a "hypnotic balance between straight-ahead jazz and world music". Kelenia won "Best World Beat Album" at the Independent Music Awards. The CD features Oran's working group with Malian griot musicians as well as special guests including Grammy Award Winning artists Lionel Loueke and John Benitez and even a string quartet on one track. The resulting sound is a reflection of Oran's musical personality rooted in jazz but shaped by the many musical worlds that Oran is a part of in New York, including African, Jewish, Haitian and New Orleans music. Even before its release, Kelenia debuted at #10 on the nationwide radio charts and All Music Guide has declared that Oran "sets a new standard for world music in the 2000s". The legendary 91 year old saxophonist Yusef Lateef, who was Etkin's teacher, contributed liner notes to the album.

Etkin tours in Europe with truly stellar group of musicians: Malian balafonist Lansine Kouyate (Salif Keita, Manu Dibango, Dee Dee Bridgewater), Guinean percussionist/singer Yeye Kanté (Mory Kanté) and either bassist Stephane Kerecki (Yaron Herman, Michel Portal) or Joe Sanders (Roy Hargrove, Terrence Blanchard, Gerald Clayton). For certain concerts, Oran can also invite special guests such as Lionel Loueke (Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Sting, Santana, etc).

Oran Etkin has performed with his band at Festival De Jazz De Liege, Festival De Jazz De Comblain La Toure (with special guest Gonzalo Rubalcaba), Sunset-Sunside Jazz Club in Paris, Central Park SummerStage in New York and the United Nations for Kofi Annan and presidents of many countries. In addition to his own bands, he has collaborated with musicians including Jason Marsalis, Wycliffe Gordon, Lionel Loueke, Mike Stern, Mandingo Ambassadors, Airto Moreira, Toumani Diabate, Djakout Mizik, Killah Priest (of the Wu-Tang Clan) and Wyclef Jean.
