“Mélange Oriental” – Songs and Sounds from the Old City of Jerusalem

Various musicians of different cultural and stylistic background meet for a musical

stroll through the Old City. They discover, trace and reflect the multiple voices, the history and the soul of the four quarters (Christian, Armenian, Jewish and Muslim Quarter). The journey includes the interpretation of traditional and original music on Western and Oriental instruments, improvisations and sounds recorded on selected sites of the City. Mélange Oriental, as its name suggests, blends these elements and creates a new language to tell the story of a sounding city.
