JMO: Jan Galega Brönnimann - Moussa Cissokho - Omri Hason

To mark their 10th anniversary, Jan Galega Brönnimann, Moussa Cissokho and Omri Hason present their third CD In Ia Yelle. In Mandinka, the language of an ethnic group in West Africa, this means: Open Your Eyes.
 
The trio JMO combines a musical language that transcends continental borders. The music of JMO - Jan Galega Brönnimann (Switzerland), Moussa Cissokho (Senegal) and Omri Hason (Israel) - revives the art of storytelling. The pearly clear sound of the kora (traditional African bridge harp with 22 strings) meets the sonorous, smoky tones of the bass clarinet and is supported by Omri Hason's various percussion instruments. The interplay between Moussa Cissokho, Jan Galega Brönnimann and Omri Hason captivates with beautiful melodies and rhythmic elegance - in their unforgettable live concerts, the three oscillate between magically transfigured moments and rhythmically explosive flights of fancy. The result is authentic and contemporary chamber music.
The trio crosses borders between traditional and modern sounds from Africa, Europe and the Orient. The repertoire comes from all three musicians and shows their different influences.
"There are three masters at work who have penetrated the essence of music," was the enthusiastic description on DeutschlandRadio Kultur.
The three artists always manage to inspire the audience with captivatingly beautiful melodies and rhythmic elegance. The audience at the concert on September 27 will certainly remember this live performance by JMO on the stage of the Lutherhaus for a long time to come.
