Studio 150 Bethlehemkerk presents in collaboration with Amarte Studio Concerts:

-- Distant Roots - Jawa Manla--

This concert is connected to Jawa's journey with music. This journey starts in Damascus and ends again in Damascus. Since 2012 she lived in different cities: Damascus, Cairo, Istanbul, and Amsterdam. Each city had a different musical and cultural influence on my personality and perception of music. “I want to find a new musical way to connect Arabic music with Turkish, Greek, and Jazz music. In this concert, we will perform from different musical backgrounds and try to bring more sounds and musical elements. You will hear music from Greece, Syria, and Egypt, but also my new composition that is based on these styles. For this special concert occasion, I will play with my own trio Saba together with three amazing musicians; all the way from Istanbul Elif Gunuz and from France Adele Vriet and Pierre Hurty. Munzer Al Kaddour will contribute to this concert with Arabic poetry that will be translated to dutch.
