This is the 21st time we have had the pleasure of announcing this special evening at the Tamburi Mundi Festival: The Tamburi Mundi Special “Gala”, at which the festival and (almost) all frame drum artists present themselves, is now a firm tradition and the heart of the festival. An evening of percussion that could hardly be more musically contrasting, more colorful or more diverse. An evening on which the most diverse facets of the frame drum world come together: Drummers from  Spain, Tajikistan, Italy, Poland, Belgium, Turkey, Iran, Austria, the USA and Germany bring their rhythms and compositions with them.
The music of the evening is created over the course of the festival week. They present their own music to each other and get to know each other's music. This requires a great deal of openness and a willingness to embrace the new and the different. And last but not least, spontaneity and great improvisational skills, when musicians join in unplanned at the last minute... This really gets the hall and the festival grooving and is precisely what makes this evening so lively, so unique and also so unpredictable. Pulsating liveliness and joy that must not be lost, especially in this days and times!

The evening and the atmosphere are hard to put into words, but the only thing that can be said for sure is that there will be more musicians on stage than originally announced: There will be more musicians on stage than originally announced here. It's best to come to the concert and experience this evening for yourself!

Musical conception and direction: Murat Coskun

Herzschlag und Atem sind der Puls unseres Lebens. Trommeln und Gesang sein musikalisches Echo.
Sechs internationale Musikerinnen stehen beim Abschlusskonzert auf der E-Werk Bühne und spüren dieser uralten Verbindung nach.

Die türkische Sängerin Tuğba Gülyeşil ist zum ersten Mal bei Tamburi Mundi zu Gast. Die Musikerin aus Istanbul verweigert fröhlich alle Schubladen und präsentiert ihre Lieder, die Zeugnis der reisenden „Liebenden“ sind, welche als Âşık bekannt, einer jahrhundertealten Tradition von singenden Geschichtenerzählern folgten.
Kasia Kadłubowska aus Polen genießt die spannende Balance zwischen zeitgenössischer Musik, Tribal Pop und traditioneller Volksmusik aus Mittel- und Osteuropa. Mit Mallets am Vibraphon und einer großen Liebe zur Rahmentrommelmusik geht sie einen eigenen musikalischen Weg. Sara Fotros, iranische Musikerin aus London zeigt kraftvolle Percussion auf der persisch-kurdischen Rahmentrommel Daf. Gesine Bänfer aus Freiburg ist mit „wind and strings“ in der Alten Musik wie im Folk zu Hause. Isabel Martín aus Spanien spürt in ihrem Gesang und der iberischen Rahmentrommel Pandero Cuadrado den Wurzeln mediterraner Musikkulturen nach. Malika Coşkun setzt als junge Stimme eigene perkussive Akzente.

Am letzten Festivalabend lassen uns die Musikerinnen das Besondere ihrer je eigenen Musik erleben, gehen dabei immer wieder neue Verbindungen ein und zelebrieren mit uns die pulsierend emotionale Intensität von „Drums and Voices“.
