The musical ensemble,
Ishk Bashad, composed of musicians from geographical
areas and musical backgrounds apparently very distant from one
another, was created because of a mutual desire to build a virtual
musical bridge between different countries around the world and to
use music as an instrument for peace. |
The members of the group are
Mouna Amari, a tunisian musician, Peppe
Consolmagno, percussionist, Enzo Rao, violinist and
Giuseppe Grifeo, pianist. The encounter between the 'prince'
of Arabian music, the oud, and the prince of western music, the
piano, are connected and encircled percussive sounds from different
regions and by violin. "Ishk Bashad" sets out on a
musical journey toward cultures and traditions which are highly
distinct yet profoundly united in some way creates a new dimension
in an unusual and very unique concert. Ishk
Bashad gained a great success at the latest Womad festival of Peter
Gabriel. |

In short, this is an
excellent example of the meeting and the mixture between creative
jazz, Mediterranean and Arabian music.
