Reijseger / Fraanje / Sylla
In April 2008 Harmen performed in trio with Dutch cello Ernst Reijseger and Senegalese singer and percussionist Mola Sylla. The music felt so good that they decided to perform together more often. In april 2009 this trio will tour in the Netherlands.
Their first concert as a trio was recorded and there are some videos on this website in case you're interested in the music. There are plans to make a recording as well.
More information about this soon.
The repertoire contains compositions by Ernst and Harmen and African songs in Woluf.
In addition to his mystical singing Mola is playing some special African instruments like the M'bira, Xalam en Kongoma.
The combination of these musicians and this instruments create a very authentic sound and a unique character; a humorous, generous world where an outpouring of improvisational brilliance is guided by a fearsomely dedicated technique. A must-see.
Ernst has been at the forefront of free improvisation and world music for over two decades, performing with numerous remarkable ensembles and musicians like the Sardinian vocal choir Tenore and Conordu de Orosie, Louis Sclavis, Simon Nabatov, Stian Carstensen and drummer extraordinaire Han Bennink. Ernst and Mola have been working together for a long time now.
They've recorded some cd's for the beautiful label Winter&Winter;
their latest production is 'Requiem for a dying Planet' for two movies by Werner Herzog.
Mola Sylla is touring throughout the world with the group of Omar Sosa.
