BIRTHDAY EDITION
The Tamburi Mundi Festival, directed by percussionist Murat Coşkun, celebrated its 20th edition...
Tamburi Mundi 2024 - "SPRING OF RHYTHMS"
Tamburi Mundi 2023 - "LAST SUMMER"
18th International Frame Drum Festival (29.07. - 06.08.2023)
The 18th Frame Drum Festival took place for the last time in summer this year. “We're moving to spring!” announced flyers and the website of the traditional Freiburg festival.
“No more sweating?!” What prompted the festival team led by founder Murat Coşkun to take such a drastic step?
Tamburi Mundi 2022 - "INFINITY GROOVES"
17th International Frame Drum Festival (29.07. - 07.08.2022)
"This year's Tamburi Mundi Festival was my second time attending. I already had the pleasure of helping to shape the festival musically in 2021. My expectations for this year were completely exceeded. It was a real celebration. A celebration of cultures, ..."
Tamburi Mundi 2021 - "DIRECTIONS"
16th International Frame Drum Festival (30.07. - 08.08.2021)
Due to the ongoing pandemic situation, this year's Tamburi Mundi Festival was once again a hybrid event. What initially seemed like a limitation turned out to be a successful concept in retrospect. By integrating online events into the festival program, people outside Freiburg and from abroad were also able to immerse themselves in the world of frame drums...
Tamburi Mundi 2020 - "LIMITED EDITION"
15th International Frame Drum Festival (31.07. - 09.08.2020)
This year's Tamburi Mundi Festival in Freiburg at the beginning of August was different: a “limited edition”—conceived in a very short time thanks to funding from the state and city—with concerts and workshops at the E-Werk and in Freiburg's Mensagarten. Musicians from Freiburg, Germany, Belgium, and Italy played to small audiences, who thanked them with loud applause!
At the same time, we broke down all spatial boundaries with a parallel online festival edition called “unlimited” and were...
Tamburi Mundi 2019 - "INTUITION"
14th International Frame Drum Festival (26.07. - 04.08.2019)
Our musical highlight of the year is now behind us, but it still resonates: the 14th Tamburi Mundi Festival in Freiburg!
A newspaper report compared this year's festival to a “caravanserai” – we liked that image...
Tamburi Mundi 2018 - "GROOVISTAN"
13th International Frame Drume Festival (27.07. - 05.08.2018)
Musicians from Italy, Israel, Iran, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, England, Ireland, Portugal, the Netherlands and Syria went on a journey to “Groovistan”- the motto given out by festival director Murat Coşkun- accompanied by their exalted audience. And it grooved quite a lot in these ten days!
Tamburi Mundi 2017 - "VISIONS"
Tamburi Mundi 2016 - "ROOTS"
Tamburi Mundi 2015 - ANNIVERSARY EDITION
10th International Frame Drum Festival (01.08. - 09.08.2015)
The worldwide largest festival for frame drums ended in a very spectacular way. 43 concerts with renowned artists and more than 30 workshops to drum and sing together, inspired nearly 5000 drum fans out of the whole world.
Tamburi Mundi 2014 - "RITUALS"
9th International Frame Drum Festival (02.08. - 10.08.2014)
The festival is over! Not long ago, the E-Werk was densely populated by colourful, cheerful and noisy participants. Now they are gone. Just shortly after the lecturers and artists had been brought to the train station or the airport, we received the first e-mails:“Thank you, once again it was wounderful!“ The drums are packed, the microphones are stored, the session corner is dismanteled- everything is like as if nothing had happened? Far wrong, for there happened a lot!
Tamburi Mundi 2013
Tamburi Mundi 2012
7th International Frame Drum Festival (27.07. - 04.08.2012)
This year's frame drum festival has most certainly offered one of the most versatile programs since its beginning in 2006. And responsible for it was most likely this year's theme „Crossing Borders". Numerous musical and cultural borders were crossed while an extensive line overlapping programs was offered. The frame drums being sometimes more and other times less in the centre of the event. While the individual concerts were richer in contrast, each evening was provided with its own very special note.
Tamburi Mundi 2011 - A successful dialog of rhythms
6th Internationales Frame Drum Festival (31.07. - 07.08.2011)
I am extremely pleased with the success of the past frame drum festival. It was certainly one of the most exciting versions since the beginning of the Tamburi Mundi Festival. The continued co-operation between the artists was especially effective this past year with the „Festival on tour-project", already staged in spring at the Festspielhaus St. Pölten. An extensive program with drums, dance and vocals was performed with a colourful and lively variety of frame drums presented with humour and full of energy.
Tamburi Mundi 2010 - "MINI EDITION"
5th International Frame Drum Festival (04.08. - 08.08.2010)
In his own modest way, Murat Coskun had announced that the 5th international festival for frame drums would have to be postponed one year to 2011. Renovations in E-Werk, the venue of the 2008 and 2009 festivals prevented a festival in the usual big style. Therefore the "Tamburi Mundi Mini Edition 2010" as mini Event in the Wodan Hall? Far from it!
