Erotæme returns to Islington Mill with 'The Handover,' combining deeply rooted Arabic traditions with modern experimentation. The performance invites you to experience music for oud, synthesizer, and violin as it explores both the common and uncommon aspects of Egypt's ritual music.£15 ADV / £17.5 OTD
And yes as always free food! The Handover will be helping with an Egyptian menu for this event.
--------------------------------------------
A performance by The Handover is typically one stretch without break: a long build-up that lasts for the duration of the concert. Towards the end of the performance, all the tension is released in an exuberant, joyful climax, when wild improvisations are driven forward on top of exciting dance-rhythms from rural Egypt. The Handover elegantly combines the delicacy of classical Arabic music, the raw expressiveness of Egypt's countryside music, and the spontaneity of free improvisation, carefully obliterating the artificial separation between acoustic and electronic instruments.
