Ilkka Arola Sound Tagine combines the spices of Middle Eastern music, communicative jazz expression and danceable rhythms borrowed from the world’s many folk traditions into adventure music that moves both the listener’s body and mind. Bandleader Arola relies on the power of a singing pop melody while confusing the crowd with rich, acoustic and electric rhythm textures and cinematic soundscapes. Ilkka Arola Sound Tagine, performing as a quartet at the Turku Sea Jazz gig, is known for its live performances full of strong emotional charge, the joy of playing and surprising situations even for the band itself.
