Yarima Blanco Y Son Latino

Vocals

Trumpet

Guitar

Bass

Percussion

Yarima Blanco is an outstanding Tres Cubano player and one of the few outside of Cuba to master this unique three-stringed instrument. With her own septet, Son Latino, she combines various Cuban styles with Latin American influences. Her electrifying performances showcase not only her impressive technique on the tres, but also her powerful voice and charisma. Blanco perfected her skills during several years of study in Cuba and quickly became a sought-after artist, also making waves on the international jazz scene with the orchestra ANACAONA. Pancho Amat, international master of the tres cubanos, describes Blanco&#x27;s talent as exceptional. Before and after the concert DJ Saltho invites you to dance.

آبان |Aban Ensemble

Moods & Jazzhane present

This is a first at the Moods Jazzclub. Nowruz, is the celebration of the arrival of spring and the new year according to ancient Persian calendars. Nowruz, meaning «new day», is an ancestral festivity marking the first day of spring and the renewal of nature. It includes rituals, ceremonies, and cultural events, as well as the enjoyment of a special meal with loved ones. New clothes are worn, visits are made to family and friends, and gifts, especially for children, are exchanged. Celebrated for over 3,000 years in the Balkans, the Black Sea Basin, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Middle East, and other regions, it promotes values of peace and solidarity between generations and within families as well as reconciliation.The Persian trio Aban Ensemble with Mitra Behpoori (Tar, Oud, Vocals), Sara Hasti (Kamancheh, Vocals) and Nora Thiele (Percussion, Daf, Rahmentrommel and Tombak) from Germany and Collectif-Medz-Bazar from Paris will be with us. Look forward to a folk festival of Persian dastgah music and an evening where Armenian, Kurdish, Turkish, Arabic and Persian song traditions meet explosive rhythms and pop elements.

Collectif Medz Bazar

Clarinet

Violin

Each musician in this cross-cultural urban-diaspora quintet is a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. Their message is one of emancipation and fraternity, their music is imbued with folk traditions, old and new. Singing in their mother tongues (Turkish, Armenian, English and French), they tell the story of an inner home, accustomed to exile, cultural blending, and renewal. Their 4th album, Insanistan, will take you from the mountains of the Lost Land to a place where languages, thoughts, and dreams can live together, retracing the road to hope, courage and the unknown. Created in Paris in 2012, Collectif Medz Bazar has traveled extensively through Europe and performs regularly in North America and in the Middle East. Fervent lovers of gatherings and exchange, at ease with all audiences, Medz Bazar&#x27;s musicians perform with the same enthusiasm in major cities like New York, Diyaberkir, Montreal, Yerevan, and Berlin, as in remote villages reaching from the Cévennes mountains in France to the Munzur valley in Anatolia.

Šuma Čovjek

Trombone

Saxophon

Drum Kit

Keyboards

Support Act: Blind Boy De Vita

Šuma Čovjek dispel the clichés of classic Balkan pop. The Swiss with a migration background sing in French, Croatian and Arabic. The languages flow so harmoniously into each other that you have the feeling you understand them all. This is certainly not least due to the lovingly arranged songs: melancholy ballads, rhythmic pop-rock pieces and rap tracks, peppered with furious brass sections.

Sababa5

The earthquake that struck south-eastern Turkey, the Kurdish areas and Syria has left countless people in distress. Our thoughts are with the survivors, friends and relatives of the earthquake victims. We wish everyone much strength and want to help: Therefore, we will collect donations at the concerts and forward them to selected NGOs. Sababa5 is what the Psychedelic Music Explosion series stands for! That is, irregular rhythms, disco grooves, psychedelia, funk and their synthesis with Western pop from the 70s, rediscovered and reinterpreted in the 21st century. Sababa5 play a modern interpretation of Mizrahi music, a genre originally played in Israel by Syrian, Moroccan or Iraqi Jews and includes stylistic elements from Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. A mix that is definitely very danceable!

Asmâa Hamzaoui & Bnat Timbouktou

Qraqeb

Asmâa Hamzaoui and Bnat Timbouktou (the daughters of Timbuktu) represent a new generation of young women Gnawa performers, breaking new ground in a traditionally patriarchal realm. Asmâa Hamzaoui assimilated the Gnawa musical tradition from a young age through her father, renowned musician Rachid Hamzaoui, learning to play the guembri (three-string lute) from an early age and later accompanying him at celebrations. She formed Bnat Timbuktu in 2012, gradually winning over audiences, until their breakthrough invitation to the Gnaoua Festival of Essaouira in 2017. Their taboo-busting performance, and jamming with Fatoumata Diawara, won them invitations to major festivals in Europe and the USA, even without a recording to their name. Asmâa still comes up against opposition from some Gnawa traditionalists but as she says: “They can talk, but here I am working and they’re just talking.”

Lincke – Menzi – Härtel

Hackbrett

Altfrentsche Besetzung – «Monk bis Moser»

On this evening you will hear unusual sounds in the area of tension between the oddball jazz of a Thelonious Monk and classical Appenzell string music in the style of the Moser family of musicians. The programme title is appropriately &quot;Monk to Moser&quot; and this will be played in the traditional Altfrentsch line-up consisting of violin, dulcimer and double bass. PS: &quot;Altfrentsch&quot;, a term rarely used today in the Appenzell dialect, goes back to the German expression &quot;altfränkisch&quot;. Deriving from the Middle High German &quot;altvrenkisch&quot; (&quot;in the manner of the old Franks&quot;), it means as much as &quot;old-fashioned&quot;, &quot;according to old custom&quot;.

Athanas’ ContempArabic Ensemble

Quanun

Flute

Composition

 «Tarbaka Blues»

Egypt - Tunisia - Switzerland: The ContempArabic Jazz Ensemble has been touring North Africa and Europe for 25 years. In the process, they playfully mix influences of Arabic music with European jazz. At Moods, the ensemble presents their new CD &quot;Tabarka Blues&quot;, a refreshing anniversary programme and exciting dialogue across styles and cultures.

Joanina & Batucada

Joanina is a young musical project founded in 2019 by João Vettore and Nina Barbieri in São Paulo. With originals and reinterpretations of Brazilian music icons, they found a harmonious, powerful fusion of samba and Afro-Brazilian rhythms, peppered with lyrical moments. Thus, Joanina together with her band create an exciting atmosphere charged to the ceiling with energy to dance, smile and sing.

Lia de Itamaracá

Tuba

From the easternmost tip of Brazil comes a woman who could not be more distinctive: Lia de Itamaracá. The singer and dancer is an icon of the culture of north-eastern Brazil and a key figure of Ciranda, a typical dance of the island of Itamaracá. According to the stories, the fishermen&#x27;s wives used to sing and dance the Ciranda while waiting for their husbands to return from the high seas, to which the rhythm imitates the coming and going of the waves. The repertoire of the &quot;Rainha da Ciranda&quot;, however, extends far beyond this to Coco and Maracatu and shows the facets of their raw, warm voice from completely new, unexpected sides. The Solar – Brazil Music Festival is an event organised by the Adalu association, which presents Brazil&#x27;s cultural wealth with a fresh, active and conscious approach. In this critical moment for Brazilian culture, when artists suffer from censorship and lack of support, the Solar Festival seeks to celebrate the gap between popular tradition and modern experimental music. Artists invited for the third edition are Luiz Gabriel Lopes, Lia de Itamaracá &amp; Band, Yabás (Solar Artistic Residence with Anna Tréa, Dandara Modesto and Jabu Morales), Joanina &amp; Batucada and DJ Sampa, who unite to represent the richness and diversity of Brazilian culture. The music ranges from the youth, tradition and ancestral cult of Brazil to the strength, power and daily struggle of Brazilian artists.

Yàbas

Yàbas, a project consisting of the musicians, composers and performers Anna Tréa, Dandara Modesto and Jabú Morales, are the holders of this year&#x27;s Solar Festival Artist Residency. The three of them bring a colourful palette to the stage, focusing on the fusion of synthesizers, guitars and voices with Brazilian pop and folk rhythms. With a repertoire consisting of their own songs and new interpretations, they take the audience on a historical journey through rhythmic traditions and oral traditions of African reminiscences to their musical influences in Brazil today. Told from the women&#x27;s point of view, Yàbas underline the historical position of Brazilian women as a fundamental link in the chain of cultural transmission.

LUIZGA

Luiz Gabriel Lopes is a Brazilian artist who grew up in the countryside of Minas Gerais and has roots in many different regions of his home country. His greatest source of inspiration: the songs of his family. LUIZGA now carries this heritage all over the world and since 2010 he has been tirelessly travelling through Brazil, Latin America, Europe, the United States and Asia with his guitar on his back. His music counts as Música Popular Brasileira and contains influences from pop, folk and world music, from which his voice and guitar unfold. The result is a beguiling amalgam of sounds from samba, ijexás, xotes and maracatus, lively and emotive with all kinds of shades of Brazilian music. The Solar - Brazil Music Festival is an event organised by the Adalu association, which presents the cultural richness of Brazil with a fresh, active and conscious approach. In this critical moment for Brazilian culture, during which artists suffer from censorship and lack of support, the Solar Festival seeks to celebrate the gap between popular tradition and modern experimental music. Artists invited for the third edition are Luiz Gabriel Lopes, Lia de Itamaracá &amp; Band, Yabás (Solar Artistic Residence with Anna Tréa, Dandara Modesto and Jabu Morales), Joanina &amp; Batucada and DJ Sampa, who unite to represent the richness and diversity of Brazilian culture. The music ranges from the youth, tradition and ancestral cult of Brazil to the strength, power and daily struggle of Brazilian artists.

Palko!Muski

Accordion

- am Schiffbautag «Bugs in the System Tour»

It&#x27;s the little bugs, the supposed flaws in the whole, that drive the transformative process. With this in mind, the collective Palko!Muski returns to the stages in its 15th year of existence more massively than ever. They bring with them the new EP &quot;Bugs In The System&quot;, a collage from the studio of the last months demanding to be performed live. They let the Palko!Dogs, loved for their wild and legendary evenings, out again!

Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek

Pipe Organ

Psychedelic Music Explosion

Five countries, one band – between Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy and Turkey Derya Yildirim &amp; Grup Şimşek spin intoxicating Turkish pop music. Since their first joint performance within the context of the the New Hamburg Festival in 2014, the quintet wanders together on the trail of the Anatolian folk icons such as Selda Bağcan, Barış Manço and Özdemir Erdoğan and lends the Tukish heritage its very own laid-back, psychedlic complexion. Yildirim&#x27;s enchanting singing, their Saz playing and the instrumentation of the Grup Şimşek – inspired by Jazz, Funk and Pop – they understand themselves not only as interpreters of elaborate compositions, rather as the art of improvisation. You really should get to experience this «live». If you&#x27;re looking for a interesting stream to go with this, the best thing to do is check out Daniel Spicer&#x27;s reading of his book on Turkish Psychedelic Rock.

Cheibe Balagan

Cello

Plattentaufe «Duschin Duschin»

In the best klezmer tradition, Cheibe Balagan draws on various musical influences - from Eastern Europe to Switzerland to Japan - and fuses them into rousing, danceable pieces. The Zurich septet gained national fame through the soundtrack of the hit movie «Wolkenbruch» and since then has been creating an exuberant atmosphere, whether at the Montreux Jazz Festival, street festivals or in dimly lit bars. At Moods, Cheibe Balagan will release their third Album answering the essential questions of life such as: What do unicorn hunters have in common with in-laws? How do you greet the mice in the kitchen? And how many onions belong in a pot of «gefilte fish»?

Etran de L'Aïr

Raw Desert-Blues from the Sahel: in their music, Etran de L&#x27;Aïr capture the pules of daily life at weddings, christenings, political events and open-air soirees. Though the use of three instead of two guitars the sound comes across more wired and more rampant as with other bands. They orient themselves more toward artistes such as Oumou Sangaré and Ali Farka Touré than the established Tuareg ensembles. The live-recorded album «No. 1» was voted by the New Yorker as Album of the Year in 2020. For this concert, the 3G rule applies: Entry is only authorized with a Swiss or EU Covid-Certificate (QR Code) for vaccinated, recovered or tested persons with an official identification (ID, passport, driver’s license). The detailed admission rules are listed here: https://www.moods.club/en/program/admission-rules-covid/ Supported by SüdKulturFonds

Sahra Halgan

Sahra Halgan comes from Somaliland, an autonomous region in the north of Somalia, which for years has campaigned for recognition as an independent state. She is considered as a music icon in her country, which she had to leave in 1992 due to the civil unrest. Today she again lives in her homeland, engages herself politically and sings traditional songs of her ancestors with a contemporary instrumentation. Her wish is to globally support the Somaliland people in the Diaspora. With astonishing ease, her expressive voice conveys a life full of homesickness, memories, and grief in exile. Simultaneously she impresses us with her huge stage presence, energy and joie de vivre! For admission, all guests need a valid Covid certificate from Switzerland or EU (QR code) for vaccinated, tested or recovered persons and an official ID card (ID, passport or driver&#x27;s license).

Yemen Blues

Yemen Blues stands for the modern, cosmopolitan Israel and shows that there is an enriching exchange between diverse cultures away from the narrow-minded politics. The charismatic singer Ravid Kahalani is of Yemeni origin and has teamed up with top-class musicians with roots from all over the world. The ensemble plays a captivating blend of Funk, Blues, Rock, Soul and traditional Oriental music, which impresses every audience. In March 2020 Yemen Blues performed on the Moods stage in a reduced line-up, before the Corona-driven lockdown stopped the overall concert program. Thus it is an even greater pleasure that this fantastic band now returns. For admission, all guests need a valid Covid certificate from Switzerland or EU (QR code) for vaccinated, tested or recovered persons and an official ID card (ID, passport or driver&#x27;s license). The detailed admission rules are listed here: https://www.moods.club/en/program/admission-rules-covid/ Registration required for members In order to guarantee our members a seat even when concerts are sold out, a contingent has been reserved for them. The registration can be done via the link «Tickets: Direct by Moods» (on the right side of the picture).

Fokn Bois

They describe their style as «Gospel Porn» and otherwise simply bristle with self-irony and satire: the two enfants terribles are known as Wanlov The Kubolor and Rapper MC M3nsa Ansah, and they stir up the music scene of Ghana with their trippy sound. The Fokn Bois use groovy Hip-Hop, Dub and Afro-Techno as the foundation for their ingenious and bawdy texts in Afro-English slang. Their high-energy concerts, where they will be accompanied by keyboarder Andras Weil, remind us of unusual art performances. For admission, all guests need a valid Covid certificate from Switzerland or EU (QR code) for vaccinated, tested or recovered persons and an official ID card (ID, passport or driver&#x27;s license).

Simone Santos

The Solar – Brazil Music Festival is organised by the Adalu Association in order to present the cultural heritage of Brasil with a new fresh, active and concerted approach. In this moment that is critical for Brasilian culture, whereby the artistes suffer from censorship and a lack of support, the Solar Festival attempts to celebrate the gap between popular traditional and modern experimental music. In addition to being a very special musical encounter, this edition of the festival stands for the solidarity with poor Brazilian families who are now suffering hunger due to the pandemic.  Support Brazilian musicians with a donation: https://donorbox.org/solar-festival-2021 Simone Santos The works of songstress Simone Santos are steeped in the music of deepest Brasil. She has been active in Switzerland since 2001 and in this time has already played with Lariba (David Stauffacher), Jazz Via Brasil (Rodrigo Botter Maio), the Santos Quartet (Jodok Hess) and developed her own act: Simone Santos Solo. During her concert in Moods she will tackle the entire tonal variety of her activities: modern compositions of MPB, Brazlian slave songs, Samba, Brasil Jazz and own compositions. Songs that get under your skin, songs with groove, full of melancholy, warmth and fine poetry.
