Zambra

The December 6th Dot Jazz Series concert features Zambra.

Zambra (from the Arabic word for "gathering") is a unique collaboration of global artists from Andalusia, NYC, Atlanta, Catalonia, and Tehran. Zambra creates imaginative arrangements that bridge flamenco, Persian classical, Indian, Catalonian, and jazz traditions. Through original compositions and traditional melodies, the quintet celebrates cultural connection, innovation, sisterhood, and the art of improvisation.

The quintet's members have been mentored by world-class musicians including Joe Lovano, Linda May Han Oh, Terri Lyne Carrington, Vijay Iyer, Danilo Pérez, Javier Limón, John Patitucci, and Brian Blade. Their collaboration emerged from the interconnected communities of Harvard University, New England Conservatory, Brown University, and Berklee College of Music—particularly its Global Jazz Institute and Jazz and Gender Institute.
