Languages For Traveller

Like alchemists of old, attempting to recombine the four elements, here Fábio Brum presents four distinct musical languages in a programme forged during lockdown. Gabriele Roberto’s Tokyo Suite charts the astonishment of a traveller dazzled by the vast megapolis, whereas Dimitri Cervo’s The Brazilian Four Seasons offers a colourful, energetic panorama of the natural and human worlds. Fábio Brum’s very personal musical journey is highlighted by the contrast between the Talmudic contemplation of Menachem Zur’s De Profundis and the abstract ruminations of Nicola Tescari’s Trumpet Concerto ‘Nine Moods’.

Vagabondoj (Esperanto for traveller) is a world music ensemble from Germany that brings together influences from different musical languages and seeks their common ground. They combine traditional melodies and dances from different cultures with tailor-made compositions from their own pen. Klezmer clarinet, swinging guitar and the sonority of a classical tuba are driven by percussion and drums. This special instrumentation as well as the sophisticated arrangements and improvisations shape the unmistakable sound of Vagabondoj.
