Voted #1 Rising Star Clarinetist in Downbeat Magazine's Critic's Poll, Oran Etkin is regularly invited to perform at major international festivals and venues. With this ambitious audio-visual project, he has reimagined how touring can become part of the creative process: taking time off between shows to live with traditional mbira masters in Zimbabwe, building collaborative projects with Roma (Gypsy) musicians in Czech Republic and gathering the fruits of these and other collaborations into a family-friendly album. Join Etkin and his friend Clara Net (his clarinet) on this musical journey of openness and friendship that will get you dancing, singing and clapping along to great music from around the world ER -
