Luminescence is a highly appropriate title for this show by the composer, trumpetist, singer and santur player Amir ElSaffar. In the subtle micro-intervals of Arabic maqâm and flamenco, in the swirling compas, the profound duende and the ecstatic twarab, Amir ElSaffar “looks for the sound that arises from our eternal ancient past, which is nevertheless in the present moment, where personal experience is equal to a wider awareness”. This experience is shared by his new partners: the singer Gema Caballero with her crystalline voice, the young rising star of contemporary flamenco Vanesa Aibar, the percussionnist Pablo Martin Jones with his endless palette of sounds, the composer Lorenzo Bianchi Hoesch with his sharp sensitivity to the relationships between sound, gesture and space, and the musician Dena ElSaffar, who plays a range of instruments.
