Al Andaluz Project - Nawba Raml Maya, Ritmo Btayhi
In the Al Andaluz Project, the three cultures that defined the Middle Ages - Muslim, Jewish and Christian - come together, symbolised by the origins of the singers Mara Aranda (Spain), Iman Kandoussi (Morocco) and Sigrid Hausen (Germany). The cultural tension between these three religions has lost none of its explosiveness and fascination to this day.
The Al Andaluz Project is an extraordinary project that uses musical brilliance at the highest technical level to realise the vision of the peaceful coexistence of the three dominant cultures of our time. The Al Andaluz Project came about when the Munich group Estampie met the Spanish and Moroccan musicians from Aman Aman and L'Ham de Foc, who gave a concert in Munich in November 2005. Just one year after this encounter, the cross-border formation presented its contemporary, lively interpretations of traditional Jewish-Sephardic, Arabic and Christian music at the Landshut Court Music Days.
The ensemble has played numerous tours through Germany, Austria and Spain and has performed at international festivals in Belgium, Holland, England and Poland. In 2012, the Al Andaluz Project was honoured with the most important German folk prize, the "Global Ruth", at the renowned Dance & Folk Festival in Rudolstadt.
