Oene van Geel is our guest in our living room studio, with his trio The Nordanians.
The Nordanians consist of:
Oene van Geel – viola (winner of the Boy Edgar prize)
Mark Tuinstra – guitar
Niti Ranjan Biswas – tabla
The name Nordanians has everything to do with the northern part of Amsterdam. The gentlemen all live there, near each other. Rehearsing, jamming and exchanging ideas is a lot easier that way. As is organising more broad cultural extravagances.
This group’s mucisians enjoy various musical movements and all have their own background stories. Their musical spectrum ranges from traditional Indian ragas, via jazz to chamber music.
