For the first time live in her new Trio line-up, Mona Mur presents LES CHANSONS BRUTALES – a dark blue sparkling live program consisting of unreleased special versions of songs mainly off her notorious orchestral opus magnum WARSAW as well as her solo albums DELINQUENT and LES CHANSONS BRUTALES with exclusive lyrics by “Radical Eye” poet Miron Zownir.

Together with her exquisite musicians, Johannes Roloff and his virtuoso piano play and guitar master Gary Schmalzl, they forge a darkly romantic sound, a surreal, elegic, cinematic. Painting – as cruel as life, as tender as the night.

Mona Mur’s concert will be presented in combination with the Berlin premiere of the film „MONA MUR IN CONVERSATION“ by Dietmar Post. – An evening organised by play loud! productions, Soundwatch Music Film Festival Berlin and Mona Mur.

Pankisi Ensemble returns to Berlin for the second time—don’t miss this rare chance to hear a unique group from one of the most remote areas of the Caucasus. They preserve and develop lesser-known Chechen vocal and instrumental genres, including epic legends like „Illi,“ Sufi chants, and love songs.

Members:

• Bela Mutoshvili: voice, accordion
• Lana Gunashashvili: voice, pondar (Chechen lute)
• Linda Gunashashvili: voice
• Mariami Bagakashvili: voice

The ensemble balances traditional authenticity with bold performances. Influenced by both Chechen and Georgian music, they represent the distinct and shared cultures of the Caucasus. These young musicians evolve while maintaining the integrity of their sound, avoiding trends like „ethno-fusion.“
