Siren Songs

Siren SongsA special project made in The Netherlands

Musicians from different parts of the world play together to create something new. Through the confrontation of diverse cultures music literally unheard of is shaped; the sound of the future, music in world-wide encounter. Point of departure in this edition is the enchanting song of the mythical Sirens, that lures travellers to all corners of the world’s seas. This group of Italian and Dutch musicians takes an adventurous journey with the singing of Matilde Politi as a guide through a sea of sweeping and dangerously seductive sounds. Raw Sicilian folk music, languid Antillean rhythms, fiery Cuban swing, and avant-garde jazz are the beacons by which musicians and audience will navigate.
