Description

Døre kl 19 / koncert kl 20
Bemærk: Koncerten foregår i Musikhuset København på Vesterbro. Unumm. siddepladser.

Den mesterlige sevdah-fortolker Damir Imamović tager den bosniske blues med på nye rejser i en stærk kvartet med tråde til både klassisk tyrkisk musik og moderne jazz.

Damir Imamović regnes som en af de fremmeste moderne fortolkere af den traditionsrige sevdah - ofte omtalt som “den bosniske blues” grundet musikkens sørgmodige poesi. Ordet kommer fra det tyrkiske “sevda”, kærlighed, der igen stammer fra det arabiske “sawda”, sort galde. I sevdah’en flyder vestlige og østlige traditioner sammen, ligesom musikken er udspændt mellem de to poler: kærlighed og melankoli. Musikken kan også med rette sammenlignes med den portugisiske fado, hvis centrale koncept, saudade, har samme etymologiske oprindelse.

Sevdah kan spores tilbage til 1400-tallets Balkan, og Damir Imamović selv er barnebarn til en af sevdahmusikkens store legender, Zaim Imamovic. Imidlertid er han meget mere end bare en arvtager til traditionen. Som man fik at mærke, da han gæstede ALICE i 2018 med sit band Sevdah Takht, formår han at give sit helt eget personlige bud på sevdah til vor tid. Med spændende arrangementer, improviserede forløb og en vedkommende nerve. Stor ros fik han for sit album “Djovka” med netop Sevdah Takht, udsendt på Glitterbeat i 2016.

Nu melder Damir Imamović sig med et nyt projekt, hvor han fortsætter med at udvikle og udvide sevdahens udtryksmuligheder. Med sin nye kvartet har han allieret sig med en række fantastiske musikere med rod i forskellige traditioner. Den fortræffelige kemençe-virtuos (et traditionelt strengeinstrument) Derya Turkan er rundet af den klassiske tyrkiske musik, mens violinisten Ivana Djurić (der også kendes fra netop Sevdah Takht) er en af Sarajevos mest indfølte sevdah-violinister. Kvartetten fuldendes af Greg Cohen - den legendariske amerikanske jazz-bassist, hvis nysgerrigt søgende spil har sat sit præg på samarbejder med så markante navne som Tom Waits, Ornette Coleman, Laurie Anderson og John Zorns Masada.

Udgangspunktet er fortsat sevdah-traditionen, men man kan forvente en koncert, der med sjæl og nerve udforsker både sevdah’ens ottomanske aner og eksperimenterende jazzede afstikkere. Uanset hvad er der lagt op til en smuk, poetisk og melankolsk oplevelse.

In English:

Ten years into a uniquely fascinating career, Bosnian musician Damir Imamović continues to forge innovative approaches to the venerable tradition of sevdah. In 2020 he will be embarking on a tour  with a new quartet comprising legendary avant-garde acoustic bassist Greg Cohen (Masada, Tom Waits, Ornette Coleman), one of Turkey’s premium classical soloists, Derya Türkan (Kudsi Ergüner, Erkan Oğur) and violin player Ivana Djurić, member of Damir’s band Sevdah Takht and one of the most prominent soloists in contemporary sevdah. In May the tour will bring them to ALICE, where Damir Imamović also played a mesmerizing concert with his band Sevdah Takht.

The quartet’s repertoire will be based on Damir’s decade-long musical journey. It will include a wealth of original material culled from his acclaimed back catalogue, but will also revisit the sevdah classics. Greg Cohen’s long involvement with Eastern European music, and Derya Türkan’s Turkish musical heritage, which has had a profound influence on the music of the Balkans, should push the boundaries of Damir’s work still further.
