Bukahara (GER/SYR/TUN)

Wherever Cologne neo-folk and world musicians Bukhara appear on stage, any boundaries are simply and enthusiastically torn down by instruments. They try their hands in Arabic-Balkan, Reggae and Swing with a merry swapping of instruments. The violin may determine the harmony, a trombone test its abilities as a tuba, and – before you know it – the guitarist suddenly sits at the percussion set.
