Michel Sajrawy

There are no boundaries in the world of jazz, and if there are, they are there to break through, – playfully and with ease. For Michel Sajrawy, a Palestinian of Christian faith who comes from Nazareth and has an Israeli passport, overcoming contradictions is an important element – in everyday life, and in his music. This guitarist and composer already melted his fellow-musicians’ diverse religious faiths into a bubbling blend of rock, jazz, intoxicating Arabic rhythms and arabesque sounds on his debut album „Yathrib” two years ago. Now he sets off on a groundbreaking fusion trip through the musical world of orient and occident.
