WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN presents World Wide Women Music
We are in the best of company - from Angola to Cambodia, Nepal to the Ukraine, March 8th is International Women’s Day, and is now also celebrated in Berlin! As part of its concert series WorldWideMusic, the WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN pays homage to “the stronger sex” with a women’s special. Berlin musicians from diverse origins and different genres DJ, play their instruments, raise their voices to celebrate themselves and all women. The curators and musicians Evi Filippou, Jarita Freydank, Mayelis Guyat and Sasha Lurje have chosen their female band for you. We redress the ‘balance’ - come to celebrate Women’s Day with us… and every Friday from March to June 2019 at 9pm in the club at the WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN.
ZAZUKA feat. ASHIA BISON ROUGE
Zazuka is a Berlin-based Jordanian-born German composer and arranger who weaves songs out of intricate rhythmic cycles, mysterious harmonies and her distinct voice. She started her path in music as a keyboard and piano player in bands, theatres and sufi poetry groups in Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt. She arranged for and played with intercultural classical music ensembles, folk-fusion and reggae-gnawa groups, picking up songs and smithing her own style along the way.
|
Since moving to Germany 10 years ago she completed her studies in Film and Animation in Nuremberg and stepped into the film music world. Her work in this medium fed her as a songwriter as it helped her to tell stories from different perspectives. This is exactly what happens live, Zazuka embodies different characters to tell their stories. Her own emotions and stories melt into those of the different characters and their perspectives. Her piano accompaniment is at times simply a percussive element and at other times offering an impressionistic underscore. In every concert she changes up the arrangements and ensembles and leaves a space for improvisation, so that every performance is unique.
She has released two chamber-pop and classical crossover singles (“Turn Everything” and “Hudna” with string quartet) and her first album is set for release in October 2019. |

Ashia Bison Rouge carefully takes the listener into the deep dark woods of a sci-fi fairytale and out into the arms of a beloved friend with her captivating, expressive voice and cello playing. Along with her command of looping pedals and effects she creates distant journeys of electronic, pulsating, multi-layered orchestral pieces and then deconstructs them down into ambient, classical, and familiar nostalgic songs.
