This spring, the European Union will convene the eighth Brussels Conference on
“Supporting the Future of Syria and the Region,” set to take place on April 30th
(Day of Dialogue) and May 27th (Ministerial Event). Over the past thirteen
years, the Brussels Conference has emerged as the primary international

in listening to the voices of Syrian civil society and addressing their most
pressing needs.
As part of this year's conference, the EU is organising “Tales of Art from
Syria,” a vibrant cultural initiative aimed at showcasing Syrian arts. From
April 30th to May 28th, 2024, Brussels will host a diverse array of Syrian
visual artists, performers, writers, and musicians, offering them the
opportunity to share their stories, and visions for the future.
The program will feature four film screenings, three of which will be
accompanied by three panel discussions, two immersive visual arts experiences, a
collaborative vernissage, and a closing concert.

TCHA LIMBERGER ( VIOLIN), RENÉ BIKAR ( BRÁCS),
VILMOS CSIKOS ( DOUBLE BASS)
Tcha’s trio of Budapest musicians causes a sensation, with bursts of soaring
musical tragedy and czardas madness delivered with an astounding purity of sound
and hardly imaginable depth of musical dialogue.
In true Budapest gypsy style they switch between soaring intensity and
smouldering pathos delivering a passion and technical virtuosity that astounds.
MAGYAR NÓTA is music actually composed by the Hungarian nobility, to liven up
their noble feasts and parties. They were looking in the 19th century for
Hungarian music, that had to be less primitive than the traditional Hungarian
music, which was only played by the illiterate peasants.
So they invented a new style, based on elements of Hungarian folk music, both
textual and melodic-harmonic, all played with a classical Western European
sound.
They hired gypsy musicians to come and live with them at the castles, where they
should learn to play violin, double bass, clarinet and cimbalom in a classical
way. Then they should make the new repertoire into one of the most highly
regarded forms of popular music.
‘I myself started to learn that style because the Sinti, Gypsies from western
Europe, including my own family, very much look up to, and love, this Hungarian
music.
Manouche and Sinti used to copy that style, but without the necessary know-how
and especially without the Hungarian language, which one needs very much to be
able to interpret that style well.
This is why I started to learn Hungarian at the age of 20 and spent a year and a
half in Budapest to master this music.
I then founded the Tcha Limberger's Budapest Orchestra.
For this concert we speak of the Budapest Ensemble, since it consists of not
more than three musicians.
This music continues to fascinate me deeply.’

Née d'une famille cosmopolite, Joe Bel a grandi en voyageant entre les Alpes
françaises, la mer Méditerranée et l'Amérique du Nord. Elle développa un amour
pour la musique dès son plus jeune âge après avoir été bercée par les vinyles de
Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Otis Redding, ainsi que les chants
traditionnels judéo-espagnols chers à la famille. Instinctive et autodidacte,
Joe fait ses tous premiers pas sur scène seule à la guitare en 2012, juste après
la naissance de son premier enfant, à l’âge de 23 ans. Quelques mois plus tard,
Asaf Avidan découvre sa soul folk envoûtante et lui offre toutes les premières
parties de sa tournée européenne. Son EP remarqué, « Hit the Roads », lui a
permis de se produire à travers l'Europe et jusqu'au Japon.
En 2020, attendant son deuxième enfant, elle se lance dans l’écriture de son
deuxième opus, « Family Tree » : une exploration à la recherche de ses origines
multiples, alliant folk, mélodies entêtantes et couleurs méditerranéennes. À
travers un son toujours organique, en anglais et en français, mais également en
ladino, ancien espagnol que parlait encore son grand-père, elle choisit de se
dévoiler un peu plus, dans un album qui invite au voyage de la transmission
entre les générations.
********** Nederlands **********
Joe Bel werd geboren in een kosmopolitische familie, en groeide op terwijl ze
reisde tussen de Franse Alpen, de Middellandse Zee en Noord-Amerika. Al op jonge
leeftijd ontwikkelde ze een liefde voor muziek. Ze werd geraakt door de platen
van Paul McCartney, George Harrison en Otis Redding, maar evenzeer door de
traditionele Joods-Spaanse liederen die haar familie dierbaar zijn. In 2012, op
23-jarige leeftijd, zette ze haar eerste stappen op het podium, solo en met
enkel haar gitaar als begeleiding. Enkele maanden later ontdekte Asaf Avidan
haar beklijvende folk soul, en bood haar prompt alle support slots aan op zijn
Europese tour.
Haar veelgeprezen EP ‘Hit the Roads’ bracht haar ondertussen door heel Europa en
zelfs Japan, en in 2020 begon ze te schrijven aan ‘Family Tree’, een plaat
waarop ze haar meervoudige afkomst exploreert. Het album is een geweldige
combinatie van folk, onstuimige melodieën en mediterrane kleuren, waarop ze
zingt in het Engels en het Frans, maar ook in het Ladino, het oude Spaans dat
nog steeds door haar grootvader wordt gesproken. ‘Family Tree’ is
intergenerationeel, en heeft voor iedereen wel wat te bieden.

"Ta Mavra Moura" is a three-piece band from Athens, Greece. While their
repertoire is centered around Greek folk music of the twentieth century like the
styles of rebetiko and laiko, their sound also touches upon more traditional
flavors and even expands into modern areas like the compositions of Manos
Hatzidakis and Nikos Xydakis.
The band consists of bouzouki and guitar which is the basis of the urban folk
sound of Athens during era of Rebetiko. A unique element of their music is the
use of flute that while being unusual in such an orchestra, blends in perfectly
and opens new horizons to their sound. Meanwhile, their three voices singing
solo or in harmony complete their musical imagery.

Eirini Sgouridou – flute, voice
Giorgos Goudousakis – bouzouki, voice
