Simin Tander New Quartet – CD Release Tour

In the organizer's words:

The Afghan-born singer will continue to develop her artistic vision with the new album: Singing in Pashto in a contemporary setting that is very characteristically colorful for her will once again play a central role. Tander also devotes herself to very old hymns and traditional songs from different parts of the world. Songs from Norway, Spain and Italy will find their way into the program, some sung in the original languages, others interpreted in her own associative, lyrical, improvised language. To this end, Simin Tander surrounds herself with exceptional musicians in her band: Indian-born violinist Harpreet Bansal, who lives in Oslo, is a shooting star in Norway. The Swede Björn Meyer conjures up great, atmospheric effects on his bass and delves just as deeply into the groove. The versatile drummer Samuel Rohrer creates hypnotizing and driving rhythms as well as fine, bright sounds for the songs. The tracks on the album, which will be released in March 2025 on the Norwegian label Jazzland Recordings, all carry the element of deep longing, a feeling that is the source and driving force behind Simin's work. We can expect many bright and light-footed moments, anthem-like melodies and overall strong compositions that carry Simin's fire.
