Presentation
The Strasbourg-based Café Aman collective has been hosting jam sessions celebrating the music of Greece, Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean since 2019. When professional and amateur musicians started meeting up in 2018, they realized there was a huge appetite among the wider community for learning and improvising on the various musical styles from these regions that are usually passed on orally, with no sheet music. This inspired the collective, which has created a welcoming space for musicians from different communities and traditions to come together around a common musical language.
The informal gatherings welcome newcomers, especially recent arrivals from overseas, who appreciate this space where they can share their cultural heritage through music and find echoes in the rich repertoire performed there. The jam sessions are hosted by the collective’s four founding musicians, Yves Beraud, Florian Jougneau, Etienne Gruel and Issam Azi, who encourage everyone to join in as much as they like throughout the evening.
