Ear Trumpet Presents: Opa Rosa - Album Launch. Standing Show at The Jam Jar, Little Ann BS2 9EB - Ages 18 +
Doors 7:30pm, Show 8:00pm
Fast gaining a reputation as one of UK’s most dynamic and virtuosic bands, Opa Rosa are an energetic acoustic ensemble sharing music from the Balkan, Greek, Klezmer & Roma traditions. With several combined decades of study and experience, all five musicians are well-versed in the musical traditions’ syntax and significance, capturing all the joy and sorrow that these traditions are so renowned for expressing.
Deeply rooted in Balkan traditions, Opa Rosa’s music aims to explore and reinvent the motifs of Eastern Europe by subtly drawing from other musical influences such as Post-Rock, Classical and Jazz. With their lineup of violin, clarinet, accordion, double bass and percussion, their unique and refined sound consists of an explosive and grooving rhythm section combined with intricate melodies soaring over rich and nuanced harmonic structures.
Following the release of their debut album 'A Feast from the East' they have toured internationally and captivated audiences with their high-energy and engaging performances. Recent gigs include a sold-out performances headlining Bristol Beacon, Green Note (London), Trinity Centre (Bristol), The Cornish Bank (Falmouth), Jamboree (London) and various festivals, including headlining festivals such as Fire in the Mountain, Smuggler’s Festival, Secret Garden Party, Valley Fest and Buddhafield.
Enjoy a collection of vibrant and soulful melodies played with fiery precision, and let Opa Rosa take you on a foot-stomping journey through the Balkans and beyond!
Expect fine acoustic evocations of Sufi music, blues-inflected North African tunes and the odd Electronica fusion for good measure!
Soufian Saihi
Soufian’s deep knowledge of Arabic and oriental music traditions, along with many years of exploration in rhythms and alternate music including forming the band Karama, has earned him much recognition as a virtuoso oudist. Soufian brought his skills to the UK in 2004 where he has progressed from street busking to the concert hall thanks to his remarkable musicianship.
His compositions fuse tradition with modernity, uplifted with Ricardo de Noronha’s thunderous hand percussion.
