The La Rosa ensemble comprises Moroccan singer Anass Habib, French accordionist Benoît Rey, and Dutch-Turkish-Arab guitarist and oud player Göksel Yilmaz.

Together, they perform contemporary interpretations of Middle Eastern songs in an intimate setting. This time, the ensemble takes the audience on a musical journey through a rich cultural history by interpreting traditional songs sung in Arabic, Aramaic, Turkish and Sephardic that are centuries old. These songs express feelings of love, connection, nostalgia and longing. By singing in the languages of different faith communities, the ensemble also conveys a message of peace and brotherhood between these cultures.

The concert programme also features songs by the world-renowned Lebanese singer Fairuz, who, according to legend, does not laugh during her performances until there is peace in the Middle East.

The result is a compelling performance with a repertoire that is rooted in ancient musical traditions yet feels fresh and modern. The passion that the trio puts into the music, together with their virtuosity and technical excellence, makes for an unforgettable experience!
