Musical stories of connection and change
Discover the intimate, musical journey of the Marmoucha Orchestra in Wandering Roots, a unique performance in which rich cultural inheritances come together with innovative improvisations. This internationally compiled ensemble, with members from Spain, Germany, Iran and Lebanon, brings a fascinating mix of jazz, acoustic world music and personal stories to stage.
Every member of this ensemble came to the Netherlands to study, but decided to stay a new artistics chapter. In Wandering Roots they share the challenges and the obstacles that they encountered along the way. Their music reflects their search for identity, balancing between their roots and their new home in the Netherlands. Although they do not feel completely at home anywhere, they recognize each other in this shared state of "do not belong", which forms a powerful connection.
The transforming power of migration
In this project, every musician enters its own compositions, which are collectively refined into a harmonious whole. The musicians interwoven traditional styles - from Armenian melodies and Andalusian passion to Moroccan influences and modern electronic textures - with contemporary jazz and improvisation. This democratic method leads to a sparkling new sound that makes the transforming power of migration tangible.
