He is critically acclaimed for music that is “full of poetry and mysticism” from revisiting the classic traditions of the Arab world through the complex rhythms and harmonies of Black American Music. In an invigorating style, Tarek &quot;ingeniously stretches the edges between two eclectic cultures and musical heritages&quot; as heard on his albums &quot;Lisan Al Tarab: Jazz Conceptions in Classical Arabic&quot;, and “Peninsular” which explores the rhythms of the Arabian Peninsula. He has performed and composed in a variety of other styles including Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, Flamenco, Electronica and chamber music, and in venues such as the Smithsonian Institute, Barcelona Cathedral, Atrium at Lincoln Center, Dubai Expo 2020, Boulez Saal, Dizzy&#x27;s Club Coca Cola, MuCEM, Gran Teatro de la Habana, Melbourne Arts Center and King’s Place to name a few. A recipient of many prestigious awards such as the Thelonious Monk Jazz Composers Competition, the Baryshnikov Artist-in-Residence, the Huygens Scholarship, the Prins Bernhard Culture fund and the Abu Dhabi Festival Commission, Tarek is also an educator, author of two self-published music books on rhythm and a film score composer of films screened in 100+ festivals around the world and broadcasted on AMC network, BBC, Sundance TV and the New Yorker.Tarek Yamani’s critically acclaimed album “Lisan Al Tarab: Jazz Conceptions in Classical Arabic” is an exploration of classical Arabic music within the frameworks of Black American jazz. The result, a genre often dubbed as “Afro-Tarab” is a performance which will take the audience on a journey from early 1900’s Egypt to contemporary New York. The repertoire will include reinterpretations of classical Arabic “muwashahat” (an old musical form), as well as original compositions based on edgy traditional rhythms and melodic modes.<h3>About Rolf Zielke:</h3>Since Rolf Zielke first moved to Berlin in 1996, he’s been collaborating on international contemporary jazz projects – with Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, Arab and Anatolian musicians. His work has been greatly influenced by his experiences of building musical bridges between jazz and the music of South America and the Middle East. His ‘classical’ and ‘new music’ compositions are also created from this musical perspective.Rolf Zielke teaches at the „Jazz Institute Berlin“ (JIB), at the Hochschule für Musik „Hanns Eisler“, at the University of the Arts Berlin (UdK) and at the University of Potsdam. He is author of the textbook: &quot;Global Groove - A Complete Guide to Odd Meters&quot;; published in Jan. 2017 (advance music / Schott).International Festivals:French German Jazz Series, Washington DC (USA), „Dedication to Maestro Festival“, St. Petersburg, Hermitage (Russia), „Tear Down that Wall“, Tijuana (Mexico), European Festival of Culture in Algier (Algeria), German-Kurdish Culture Days in Erbil (Iraq), Music Festivals in Bejing, Nanjing and Fuzhou (China), Interna­tional Jazzfestival – lasi (Rumania), Ohrid Summer Festival (Mazedonien), Jazz at the Odra – Wroclaw (PL), International Jazz Fair – Poznan (PL), Dialogue of Cultures, Lodz (PL), „Mozartiana“, Gdańsk (PL),”Martinů Festtage”, Basel (CH), “Rheingau Musikfestival” (D), “Schleswig Holstein Musikfestival” (D), ”Jazztage” Hannover, ”Masala” World Music Festival Hannover, “Jazztime” Hildesheim (D)Concerts / Studio recordings with: Charlie Mariano, Thomas Quasthoff, Mike Stern, Ed Motta, Hendrik Meurkens, David Friedman, Peter Weniger, Ed Schuller, Bireli Lagrene, Jiggs Whigham, Benny Baily, Red Holloway, Scott Hammilton, Krzesimir Debski, Stacy Kent, Judy Niemack, Sergej Starostin (“Moskow Art Trio”), Kaigal-Ool Khovalig (“Hun Huur Tu”), Nahawa Doumbia, Urna Chahar-Tugchi, Eda Zari, “RIAS” Big Band Berlin.
