JISR - Heritage / Irth

This album is about the exchange of musical cultures, the North African country Morocco is a rich melting pot of diverse musical styles and traditions, the International Ensemble JISR, has dedicated itself to this richness.

JISR means bridge and is meant literally, because ensemble leader Mohcine Ramdan knows how to build bridges in different cultures. His roots lie in the music of the Gnawa - traditional Moroccan music, which combines ritual poetry with traditional music and dancing.
