About the concert
With “Govinda and Kamala” the young Hamburg guitarist Pouya Abdi releases his first album – a profound musical journey between jazz, lyrics and intercultural influences. Inspired by Hermann Hesses Siddhartha, his Iranian origins and family imprint, the work combines intimate compositions with courageous improvisation.
The internationally composed quartet, consisting of high-calibre musicians with Georgian, Brazilian and Iranian roots, merges spontaneous interaction with colourful sound worlds. Supported by the influences of great composers such as Pat Metheny and Tom Jobim, the band dares to take risks – always with the certainty of standing up for each other musically.
Whether on major festival stages such as the Elbjazz or in renowned jazz clubs, the Pouya Abdi Quartet stands for emotional depth, energetic play and the celebration of cultural diversity.
Since May 2024, Govinda and Kamala is available on CD and in all mainstream streaming services.
