Tamara Obrovac takes us on another cross cultural contemporary jazz journey connecting her particular musical tradition of Istria (Croatia) with musical treasures of Arabic and African chants from Morocco and Armenian folk tradition, creating new,
vivid musical landscape.

This dynamic cross border musical tale is rooted in author songs inspired by particular ethnic traditions interconnected with jazz improvisation, uniting different sounds, genres and musical handwritings ; exspresive voice of Tamara Obrovac, lute and guembri played by Moroccan Majid Bekkas, passionate piano of Armenian Karen Asatrian, imbued with inventive phrasing of Wolfgang Puchnig’s saxophone and flute.

This excellent musicians joined forces with creative rhythm section from Tamara's Transhistria ensemble, (Kruno Levačić drums, Žiga Golob double bass), blending theirmusical mastery, intense emotional approach and their passionate live performances and energy into transmediterranean, transcultural, and at the same time archaic and contemporary musical landscape.
