YARÁKÄ aus Taranto, Italien - Gianni Sciambarruto, Virginia Pavone und Simone Carrino – betonen und feiern multiethnische Komponente; Gemeinsame, aus Afrika stammende rhythmische Muster wirken als Katalysator auf experimentelle, mediterrane und süditalienische Klängen und Einflüssen. Nach mehreren Alben, zuletzt "Curannera" 2023 (Zero Nove) und dem Dokumentarfilm "Nastya" 2022, sind sie zum ersten Mal in Hamburg.
Support: Mirage World, eine internationale Band mit fünf Musiker aus verschiedenen Kulturen und Ländern, die in Hamburg leben.
Update vom 24.05.24: Das TAHINI ENSEMBLE aus Hamburg musste leider kurzfristig aus persönlichen Gründen absagen.
Gefördert von der Beauftragten der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien („BKM“) und der Initiative Musik.
The Yarákä project, which began in 2015, has always been attentive to emphasizing and celebrating their multi-ethnic component, in particular the common rhythmic matrix coming from Africa, which acts as a catalyst and allows for experimentation in a bold crossing over of Mediterranean and Southern Italian sounds and influences. The ensemble, composed of three musicians from Taranto, Gianni Sciambarruto, Virginia Pavone, and Simone Carrino, seeks to express personal identity and to rediscover traditions with an openness towards modernity and cross-culture contamination. The aim of Yarákä’s research is, in fact, to uphold and exalt the concept of rituality in music that characterizes practices linked to popular traditions, by exploring the ancestral relationship between man and nature. The word Yarákä actually has the four elements in it - water, air, fire, and earth - in the Tupi-Guarani language, which is one of the most important Amazonian tribes that represent a perfect example of coexistence between man and nature for the band.
In 2022, they published the documentary Nastya from the Greek word anastasis (rebirth), produced by Zero Nove Nove with the support of Puglia Sounds Producers: the sounds of the people from the southern hemisphere encounter the rediscovery of the Taranto dialect, a combination that becomes the stylistic signature of this journey.
