The Glasshouse International Centre for Music and Jazz North East present
SARĀB
Vibrant. Fantastique. A beautiful fusion.
With its unique blend of Arabic music, jazz and rock, SARAB is one of the leading groups of the Paris music scene, and features the dazzling trombone player Robinson Khoury.
Born from the meeting between the franco-Syrian singer Climène Zarkan and the guitarist Baptiste Ferrandis, Sarab — mirage in Arabic –is a musical building that combines rock, contemporary jazz and arab traditional music which plays on borders and genres. Robinson Khoury’s trombone links with the voice, and navigates between the Eastern and European scales, between ornamentation and a personal technique. It is with the trombone and the song that we find the horizontality of the Arab music, upset by the rich harmonic verticality of the guitar and the piano. SARAB has performed in 2023 in Jazz in Vienne, Marseille Cinq Continents, Jazz sous les Pommiers…
This performance is part of The Green Pilot Tours – a project by Europe Jazz Network (EJN), co-funded by the European Union under the Creative Europe programme 2022-2024.
