An interesting and very exotic concert, just like Import Export usually presents. I didn't know the concept, but my expectation started in India, where a lot of this project is based. What I didn't expect and found pleasantly surprising was such a strong fusion around tours, exchanges, and experiences involving the Maghreb, the Mediterranean, with European touches and also some jazzy elements.


The room was set up with chairs this time, so the space for dancing was smaller, but it didn't stop many spectators from feeling the vibe.


On stage, besides the rhythmic and contagious voices, we had tablas, various flutes, trumpet, saxophone, drums, organ, and a peculiar guitar. I'm missing the correct names (of the musicians and instruments) for future reference, but that's how the concert happened – in a happy and genuine present, like the fascinating life we were blessed with.


Below few photos and a video with three different musical moments that illustrate the intercontinental journeys made on this rainy night in Munich, proving that music has always been what unites us.

Ein interessantes und sehr exotisches Konzert, genau wie Import Export es normalerweise präsentiert. Ich kannte das Konzept nicht, aber meine Erwartung begann in Indien, wo ein Großteil dieses Projekts basiert. Was ich nicht erwartet habe und angenehm überraschend fand, war eine so starke Fusion rund um Tourneen, Austausch und Erfahrungen mit dem Maghreb, dem Mittelmeer, mit europäischen Einflüssen und auch einigen jazzigen Elementen.


Der Raum war diesmal mit Stühlen eingerichtet, also war der Platz zum Tanzen kleiner, aber das hinderte viele Zuschauer nicht daran, die Stimmung zu fühlen.


Auf der Bühne hatten wir neben den rhythmischen und ansteckenden Stimmen Tablas, verschiedene Flöten, Trompete, Saxophon, Schlagzeug, Orgel und eine eigenartige Gitarre. Mir fehlen die genauen Namen (der Musiker und Instrumente) für die Zukunft, aber so passierte das Konzert – in einer glücklichen und echten Gegenwart, wie das faszinierende Leben, mit dem wir gesegnet wurden.


Hier sind ein paar Fotos und ein Video mit drei verschiedenen musikalischen Momenten, die die interkontinentalen Reisen dieser regnerischen Nacht in München illustrieren und beweisen, dass Musik schon immer das war, was uns verbindet.

Concerto interessante e muito exótico como o Import Export habitualmente nos costuma apresentar. Desconhecia o conceito mas a expectativa começava na Índia, onde de facto muito deste projecto assenta, o que não esperava e foi agradavelmente supreendente residiu numa uma fusão tão forte em volta de digressões, intercâmbios e experiencias em torno do Magreb, Mediterraneo com apontamentos europeus e também jazzísticos.


A sala estava organizada desta vez com cadeiras, o espaço para dançar era mais reduzido mas não impediu de sentir o pulso de muitos espectadores.


Em palco e para além das vozes ritmadas e contangiantes tivemos tablas, flautas variadas, trompete, saxofone, bateria, órgão e uma guitarra peculiar. Faltam-me nomes correctos (dos músicos e instrumentos) para memória futura mas é assim que o concerto aconteceu, num presente feliz e genuíno como é a fascinante vida com que fomos brindados.


Eis algumas fotos e um vídeo com três momentos musicais distintos que ilustram as viagens intercontinentais feitas a partir desta chuvosa noite em Munique onde ficou provado que a música é o que nos une desde sempre.
