With "ARAB SONG JAM goes Maghreb" the WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN presents very special, traditional musical styles from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia as part of LA SAISON ARABE. The new ARAB SONG JAM goes Maghreb concert series bases its format on the Black American jam session culture of the 1940s. The first set of the evening was presented by a regular trio or quartet, while the second set had musicians new to the city introduced by the band leader. Similar to the jazz jam sessions in all cities around the world being oriented towards The Real Book’s jazz standards, the new concert series ARAB SONG JAM goes Maghreb makes use of the rich treasures of the Maghreb song repertoire. |

The ARAB SONG JAM concert series is a sub-project of the EU-financed project "The sound routes. Notes for getting closer" for the integration of refugees in Europe, that is being run by WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN in cooperation with its partner organisations in Belgium, Italy and Spain.
Entry to the ARAB SONG JAM is free of charge.
