Jazzfest Berlin 2023 w/ Eve Risser Red Desert Orchestra

Eve Risser, a talented performer, composer, and arranger from France, is the founder of The Red Desert Orchestra. This ensemble comprises nine skilled European musicians and was founded by Risser herself.The group focuses on two main programs: Kogoba Basigui and Eurythmia. Kogoba Basigui originated from collaborating with seven (now six) Malian musicians based in Bamako (Kaladjula Band). In comparison, Eurythmia involves the collaboration of the Red Desert Orchestra with three Burkinabe musicians residing in France.Within this framework, Eve Risser showcases her skills and talent by fusing European orchestral sounds, free jazz, and the vibrant musical heritage of Mali to guide you through a spiritual journey inspired by her work with Nainy Diabaté.Our chat covered numerous fascinating facets of the Red Desert Orchestra. We started with Eve's reflections on the JazzFest performance, her connection to African and Malian music, and the challenges of managing a music project that bridges African and French influences, both musically and sociologically. To finish, Eve shared insights into her significant sources of inspiration drawn from Malian music.Meeting Eve was a wonderful opportunity to explore a powerful ensemble with the primary goal of positively impacting the world.
