A series of double concerts, combining upcoming artists and well-known names from the Dutch world music scene.1st concert: Neighbors - 20:00 – 20:55
“In these fragile and challenging times, we believe that music and art are the most powerful tools to bridge divides, dismantle prejudices, and ease the fears perpetuated by the media. Neighbors is a musical journey connecting East and West, striving to create a spirit of ‘neighborliness’ through shared cultural and human values.”
Blending Alpine and Occitan folk traditions with the classical melodies of the Persian Radif, Neighbors explores an enriching fusion of sounds. Their performances feature improvisation, contemporary interpretations of traditional pieces, and original compositions, offering audiences a unique musical dialogue.
Neighbors has performed on the stages of renowned international festivals and venues, including Music Meeting, Etétrad, De Doelen, and Suoni della Murgia. They also composed the soundtrack for the documentary Biserta – Storia a Spirale (Cosenude Media Projects), a film exploring the history of Tunisia.
