‘De kracht van Percussie’ with Farid Sheek, Kalanyit Das, Ruben van Rompaey and Sandip Banerjee

Musicians from three countries on one stage

De kracht van percussie brings together four musicians who each represent their own tradition. Farid Sheek plays the daf, a Persian instrument with roots in the Sufi tradition. Kalanyit Das plays sitar in the style of the Senia Maihar Gharana, a classical Indian playing tradition. Ruben van Rompaey connects Turkish and Middle Eastern rhythms with jazz and fusion on the darbuka. Sandip Banerjee, All India Radio Grade A artist, plays tabla.

Rhythm as a common language

During the concert, the musicians engage in a conversation with each other through improvisations and rhythmic interaction. The sitar provides melodic colour, while the percussion instruments together build a layered rhythm. The interplay shows how different musical traditions can strengthen each other without losing their own character.

Special location in Amsterdam

The concert takes place in the Pianola Museum in Amsterdam, an intimate and historic location. The atmosphere of the museum enhances the experience of this concert, where classical music and world music come together. Are you interested?
