Incense of Music 39/ Bakr Khleifi

INCENSE OF MUSIC FESTIVAL “Solos and Mixtures” at Pandatheater A multisensorial festival Incense of Music Nr. 39 Thursday, 10th October 2019, 8 p.m. Bakr Khleifi, oud Fabio Dondero (Incense burning) PANDA Platforma in der Kulturbrauerei, Knaackstr. 97, 10435 Berlin Here is another hidden jewel from the Incense of Music series. Recorded back in 2019, it has spent seven years quietly resting in the mysterious depths of the internet before finally surfacing today. At the center of it is Bakr Khleifi, an exceptional Palestinian-born artist whose musical roots run deep. Having started his journey with the oud at just six years old under master teachers, Khleifi bridges diverse cultures and musical traditions with effortless grace. Here, he plays the oud—the magnificent, short-necked, fretless lute that is often poetically called the "king of Eastern instruments." Without frets to guide the fingers, the oud relies entirely on the musician's precise intonation, producing a warm, resonant, and deeply expressive voice that can whisper ancient secrets or cry out with striking emotional intensity. Give this performance a proper listen—far longer than the typical eight-second average of a fleeting social media clip. Sink into the microtonal nuances of the maqamat, let the rich wooden acoustics wash over you, and watch how it completely makes your day.
