LISTEN TO RECORDINGS / REBAB
RAWBAB and Crossroads, Larry Porter & Friedemann Zintel |
|
The RAW-Tempel is on the grounds of the old East German railroad where the trains used to be serviced. Ingo Vaupel ran a regular concert series there of jazz and ethnic music. On this particularly hot summer night Gambian kora music was also performed. Larry and Friedemann presented a program of traditional Afghan songs and originals and topped the evening off with a wonderful extended medley of Ahmad Zahir songs. The Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche is a beautiful red brick church which has been fully renovated and is now used mainly for cultural events. This concert was part of the two-week-long Asia-Pacific Festival and featured Dari, Pashto, and Hindi songs as well as two of Larry's rebab compositions.
