Contemporary Jazz meets Middle East Music
In the duo Rolf Zielke and Hogir Göregen (percussion), a vivid musical dialogue unfolds in which contemporary jazz and Middle Eastern music merge effortlessly. Piano and percussion meet on equal footing, creating a powerful and dynamic exchange that moves beyond established rhythmic conventions. The music thrives on the interaction of two strong musical voices: Zielke’s multi-layered, rhythm-driven approach encounters Göregen’s percussion art rooted in the traditions of Mesopotamia and Anatolia. Virtuosity, groove and a deep sense of mutual listening come together in a sound that remains both precise and open — full of drive, depth and spontaneous energy.
