John Kameel Farah, Music of Liberation for piano & electronicsThu Feb 26 | Doors 20:00 | Concert 20:30
Sowieso, Weisestraße 24, 12049 Berlin
In performance, Farah surrounds the piano with synthesizers and electronics, moving freely between improvisations, soundscapes and driving beats. For him, each concert is a uniquely unfolding tapestry, for the listener to immerse themselves in. Drawing inspiration from Arabic music and his Palestinian background, classical music, experimental improvisation and all forms of electronic music, he creates a sound world in which ambient loops transform into Baroque fugues, morphing into improvisations over Near-Eastern percussion.
The theme of the concert is liberation, sounding through the musical lens of Farah's Palestinian identity. Between pieces, John will share his insights into Palestinian history, how this has been repressed and distorted, how the Palestinian struggle is related to other liberation and anticolonial struggles in the global south, and the rich tapestry of Palestinian indigenousness, interwoven through his music.
