Guzel Oglan (live) - Nathan Daems Karsilama Quintet

Показать описание

Belgian sax player Nathan Daems has already demonstrated his love of eastern music in a variety of projects: Ragini Trio (Indian jazz), Antwerp Gipsy Ska Orkestra (eclectic Balkan), Black Flower (Ethiojazz) etc... He returns today, with Karsilama, to showcase one of his great passions – the gipsy music of Turkey. Like Istanbul itself, the music naturally blends Arabic sonorities with the fire of Balkan & gipsy music. This quintet brings the music back to life with a non traditional line up but in a certainly faithful form thanks to the skills of Nathan Daems and the masterly playing of the talented musicians supporting him.

Due to Dimos Vougioukas, the young phenomenal Greek accordeon player, and Tcha Limberger, the allround Belgian/gipsy super talent on violin, the repertoire travels from Turkey over the Bosporus towards Greece, with small detours through neighbouring countries. Niki Aleksandrov (percussion), is a very succesful musician who already collaborated with all the greatest in the Bulgarian gipsy wedding scene, while Tristan Driessens (oud) is Belgium's top authority when it comes to Turkish Ottoman music.

Musicians:
- Nathan Daems (sax, ney, Turkish kaval & compositions)
- Tcha Limberger (violin)
- Tristan Driessens (oud)
- Niki Alexandrov (percussion)
- Dimos Vougioukas (accordeon)
