Friday 31st jan, 21.00 . When there’s a fifth Friday in the month, then Ton Maas is back with Acoustic Moods.
This time Sjahin During welcomed us at his home. Read the programme text here .
It’s an unusual meeting. Sjahin, with a pile of cd’s in front of him, has always had a very busy musical life. He’s also very hard to get hold of because he’s so busy with his projects. Originally we tried to invite him to Acoustic Roots with his new Mundus Quartet to make a live recording, but that kept failing due to his busy schedule.
So we travelled to Amsterdam to make the recording at home for our sister programme Acoustic Moods . In this episode of Acoustic Moods Ton Maas talks to Sjahin about his unusual musical life story. Sjahin will shortly be coming to Acoustic Roots as well with his band Mundus and will tell you about that later.
Sjahin During en Ton Maas
Mundus is also taking part in the concert series Old Roots New Routes. At the beginning of 2020 the third edition took place with concerts not only in Amsterdam but also in Rotterdam and Utrecht. Ancient musical traditions from other cultures develop in the Low Countries in surprising directions. This cross fertilisation has led to a new musical idiom with surprising impulses for existing genres. Unnoticed and mostly invisible they have become a part of our musical landscape.
Old Roots New Routes provides a platform for these ‘Dutch delta sounds’ with unusual semi acoustic formations:
as well as thet Mundus Quartet also Neco Novellas & Ernst Reijseger, Raj Mohan, het Mozaiek Ensemble, Patricio Wang Ensemble led by Marja Vuijsje and Tarmonica.
The musicians come from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and South America and blossomed in Dutch clay. Together with Dutch soulmates they follow new paths from their ‘old roots’. A unique series, take part!
