On 14 July, Arin Keshishi and Marmoucha Orchestra will present "Self-Reflection: The Live Experience" at North Sea Jazz Festival.
Iranian bassist, composer and artistic director of the Marmoucha Orchestra, Arin Keshishi, is known for combining Western techniques, classical music, jazz and flamenco. Thus Keshishi, who also has roots in Armenian culture, brings together contemporary jazz and Eastern influences. The Marmoucha Orchestra consists of young musicians who collectively bridge the gap between East and West, focusing on music from North Africa, the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Their repertoire ranges from Maghreb and Middle Eastern melodies to jazz, pop, contemporary and electronic music. Each member has their own specialisation, technique and repertoire.
Self-reflection, Arin Keshishi's recently released debut album, serves as a guiding compass in his musical journey in which he reflects on his past experiences. Since moving to Amsterdam, the Marmoucha Orchestra has played an important role in his musical development. Therefore, he sees this collaboration as a unique opportunity to experiment and combine his music with the orchestral expertise of the Marmoucha Orchestra.
