MELANGE
Formed by jazz and world music cellist Shirley Smart on returning from 10 years in Jerusalem playing and studying the musics of the region, Melange seamlessly blend popular North African rai and chaabi songs, Gnawa music of the South Moroccan desert, exotic Middle Eastern and Turkish melodies and improvisations, Central Asian folk melodies, and across to the firey Tango of Argentina and the street Choro of Brazil.
Recent performances include the IGNITE series at the Royal Albert Hall National Portrait Gallery, St. Ethelburgas, Songlines Encounters Festival, National Theatre, Green Note, Forge, Rich Mix and the Vortex....
