INDIA – MUSAFIR. GYPSIES OF RAJASTAN + Indya ettnic@ group

Start time: 20:30
Place: Piazza San Marco
“Life is for me a gipsy journey. While for some body life is a practical manner, for us, instead, the possibility to enter into life can be achieved only through the journey’s spirit”. Hammed Khan Rajasthan II, the earth of principles, is the starting point of the migration to Europe of the Rom people. The Musafir, descending from some musicians and poets castes, together with sufi artists, Muslims and Hindus, will perform a real musical circus: chants, dances and circus numbers from popular feasts blended with a repertoire in which it is possible to find the influences of gipsy, Arabian and Indian cultures. The various popular influences are sustained by the rigid aesthetic canons of the classical Indian music due to the artistic direction of Hammed Khan, both tabla maestro at the Rajasthan University of Jaipur and expert of the popular music of his country. Hammed works with the most important maestros of classical and popular music of his country and he also reassesses the repertoire of the northern India typical fanfares with the Jaipur Kawa Brass Band; last but not least, he collaborated with many western artists such as Thierry Robin and Erik Marquand concerning folk music, with the jazz players Henry Texier and Syslain Kassap and with the choreographer Carolyn Carlson.
