Middle Rhine Music Festival presented Percussion Nebojsa Zivkovic-Star
Koblenz. Drums, bongos or the marimba concert-goers are likely to be most common percussion instruments. But a Slope have the fewest ever seen or even heard. What a diverse sounds and melodies are to elicit the extent exotic percussion instruments, the world renowned Konzertpercussionist Nebojsa Jovan Zivkovic proved now in the penultimate concert of the Middle Rhine Music Festival in Görres house. Together with the native Serbs delighted the English Tuopali Duo and the Intercontinental Percussion Mafia the audience.
Almost all works are on the program written by Zivkovic, including "To The Gods Of Rhythm", a work to appease the gods of rhythm on the djembe and voice. It turns out that the styles of different cultures together perfectly in line can stand: Zivkovic drumming on the African djembe, a mixture of Indian and Balkan rhythms, while he intones to Serbian Orthodox Church singing. No less original, the work of "Sex In The Kitchen" is: The two musicians of the Tuopali Duo face each other in their sets, with each player three additional kitchen items and a whip used. Accordingly, amused the audience shows during the interpretation of the witty piece that ends with a resounding "ping" against a red wine glass - a conciliatory end of the kitchen intermezzo, which had begun with a not very delicately whiplash.
It is not only fascinating to listen Zivcovics works that interpret all the wonderful musicians precise and intoxicating. To watch the artists at their game, is also very exciting. As the swirl of drum sticks, are quickly replaced with others to elegant to fly on the marimba. Then again, the artists work with their bare hands instruments such as the slope, a Swiss invention of 2000, which looks like a cross between UFO and wok with lid.
The highlight is the German premiere of the play "Tak-Nara" (2009), commissioned by the Auditorio de Tenerife for the same percussion quartet. The two-part piece is regarded as a tribute to the Canary Islands - including ocean and volcanic eruption. The whistling language "El Silbo is represented in the works. Thunderous applause for the reaction of some very young audience. Rule right omitted end the concert, as the Intercontinental Percussion Mafia - consisting of nearly 20 students who have just completed Zivkovic Percussion Academy in the State Music Academy in Engers - together with their lecturers Zivkovic and the Tuopali duo takes on various instruments and with the audience hot African and Samba rhythms adopted.
