KARKHANA

RASHAD BECKER and ELI KESZLER

Facebook Event: here http://www.facebook.com/events/347407695607803/

Combining some of the most innovative players from each of three cities

(Beirut – Cairo – Istanbul), Karkhana http://www.karkhana-music.com/ met

in Beirut for the first time in February 2014 with the very ambitious

aim to bring together elements from the three major experimental music

scenes of the area. The band’s music strives to create a unique musical

blend combining free jazz and psychedelic with various shades of ethnic

and traditional music, traces of shaabi, tarab… Building on the

multi-instrumental capacities of its members, the group tries to develop

what could possibly be called a “Free Middle-Eastern Music”. – Video: (1

out November 17th.

Rashad Becker’s live sets evolve around the angle of traditional music

of notional species, a semi-abstract synthetic narrative that proves

appealing to a remarkably wide audience.
