ABOUT
CUL-DE-SAC ACCELERATED EVOLUTION ORCHESTRA
Hailing from the dynamic underground music scene of Zagreb, Cul-de-Sac was formed by Dragan Pajić aka "Pajo" and Damir Prica Kafka aka "Capri" in 1986. They published audio cassettes, made film soundtracks and played concerts in Zagreb, Belgrade, Ljubljana, Copenhagen and Berlin. The last performance of the original line-up took place in June 1991 on the balcony of the skyscraper on the main square in Zagreb, a few months later war broke out in former Yugoslavia. Relocating to Amsterdam from 1993 - 2000, Cul-de-Sac dived into Amsterdam's thriving music scene at the time playing at clubs and galleries all over the city and collaborating with Nikola VIncelj aka "Jinks", who created posters and covers for CDs and slide shows for the gigs. After their return to Zagreb in 2000, Pajo and the other original members teamed up with young musicians, creating an orchestra of up to 20 musicians who played at festivals Austria, Bosnia, Croatia Macedonia, Serbia including the legendary Showroom of Contemporary Sound in Zagreb. Founding member Pajo passed away on 23 February 2014. He was a pioneering improvising musician who left behind a powerful musical legacy, the spirit of which continues to this day with the Cul-de-Sac Accelerated Evolution Orchestra, returning to Berlin for the first time since their 90s appearance at Tacheles. // Bandcamp

AMIR ELSAFFAR
Iraqi-American trumpeter, santur player, vocalist and composer Amir ElSaffar has distinguished himself with a mastery of disparate musical styles and a singular approach to combining aspects of Middle Eastern music with American jazz, extending the boundaries of each tradition. A skilled jazz trumpeter with a classical background, ElSaffar has created new techniques to play microtones and ornaments that are idiomatic to Arabic music but are not typically heard on the trumpet. Additionally, he is an acknowledged performer of the classical Iraqi maqam tradition, and performs actively in the US, Europe and the Middle East as a vocalist and santur player. // Soundcloud - Homepage
