That quintet’s bassist, Keshishi, now leads Marmoucha Orchestra, blending modern influences with musical traditions from Southwest Asia and North Africa. A powerful addition to this concert is Syrian dancer Ahmad Joudeh, who brings his personal story of exile, resilience and transformation to the stage, inspired by the mystical Sama dance from the Sufi tradition. Carried by the Wind transcends disciplines and cultures, weaving together music, dance and spirituality in collaboration with Flamenco Biënnale Nederland.
