EmbryoWhen it comes to fusing traditional ethnic music with jazzy space rock, the Munich-based band Embryo doesn't fool anyone. For 50 years, Christian Buchard's group was considered an original force in Krautrock. Nowadays his daughter Marja sets the beat and provides no less innovative grooves and energetic beats that bring the magic of the past directly onto the stages of the present.
Milad KhawamSince his arrival in Berlin in 2010, the Syrian trumpeter, duduk player and composer Milad Khawam has increasingly manifested himself as an integral part of the local music scene. His pieces are infused with Near and Middle Eastern, electronic and jazz influences. The artist knows no genre boundaries, playing everywhere between Europe and the Middle East. Khawam also composed film music in the course of the Cannes Film Festival. In 2018, his sheer ingenuity coupled with unbridled creativity brought him to the stage of the XJAZZ Festival besides the Fusion Festival. It is an honour to welcome him back this year and to present his new album "To The West", which will be released in April on XJAZZ Music.
