A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
ABOUT
The KAYAN project performs Arabic and Hebrew folk music in modern arrangements with improvisational elements. It is the first project to bring a fresh, full, and authentic sound from the Levant.
Out of Berlin's bustling music scene comes the authentic-unique sounds of KAYAN, a group dedicated to folk music from the Levant, combining jazz elements and singing in languages that rarely come together in a positive context: Arabic, Hebrew, and the occasional English. Drawing from sources all over the Middle East, the quartet around lead singer Eden Cami transcends borders and language barriers. Adding improvisation and their own compositions, KAYAN creates a fascinating and emotional vibe on stage, reuniting two sister languages and musical traditions of both Arab and Jewish roots. In times of tension and conflict, it is a daringly positive approach that recalls what unites rather than divides us.
