Bio
Conversations with Rhythm” it s Egyptian music heritage, the heart pulsing beats of the darbuka are the driving core of this music, yet the blissful sound texture is enriched with gorgeous vocals of singer Madalena Golebiowska,George Dumitriu on violin & guitar, and Alex Simu on tenor clarinet and live electronics.Mystical and spiritual mood with a tasteful eye on contemporary sounds.
Amalgamating ethnic, jazz sounds from around the globe, the avant-garde quartet Doum Do creates some of the most invigorating rhythms in the percussion world today.
Doum Do weaves its melodies around Sabrine's dynamic drum riffs to form an organic new sound."We found a language of music that is a conversation, an open art form through which I could bring my art to others in a way that created space for them to bring their music back into that art."Simultaneously brave and elegant, the resulting tracks are tantalizing flows featuring sophisticated blends of clarinet, guitar and vocal sounds. These instruments have rarely, if ever, been previously put together with a darbuka of that style.One of the world's few female masters of the Egyptian drum, Sabrine's evolved identity on the darbuka forms the backbone of Doum Do.Several meetings and rehearsals took place between Amsterdam and Cairo during 2012.
The 39-year-old has been mastering the darbuka since 1999, when she encountered it on a chance trip to the Sinai. With her multinational background and experiences with Spanish, Turkish and French cultures, Sabrine brings a fresh interpretation to the instrument
