Description
Valencia-based Persian/Kurdish-American vocalist and composer Elana Sasson breathes new life into her heritage with a fusion of Persian poetry, Kurdish melodies, jazz harmonies and vivid rhythms. Her “arrestingly beautiful” voice (Songlines Magazine) seamlessly merges tradition with innovation. The liminal sound—at once tender and grooving— of her newly released album ‘In Between’, explores placelessness, longing, belonging and the emotional complexities of navigating between cultures and identities. Elana (voice, saz) will be accompanied by Cypriot Manos Stratis (double bass) and together they will present a programme that moves fluidly between spacious minimalism and intricate melodic complexity.
Elana holds a Master of Music in Contemporary Performance and Production from Berklee College of Music in Valencia and a BA in Design Media Arts from UCLA. She was a resident at Fabrica Research Centre in 2019 and is a member of the Iranian Female Composers Association (IFCA).
Likwise Cypriot-born Manos Stratis graduated from Berklee College of Music, Boston, in 2020 before completing his Masters and Post Masters degrees at Berklee Valencia by 2023. As a performer and composer Manos finds inspiration in the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, shaped by the Middle Eastern and Western sociopolitical factors of his native country.
