Legendary saxophonist and pioneer of Ethiopian jazz in Israel, Abate Berihun, performs in a joint session with phenomenal drummer Gladys Lazer. Their energetic and uninhibited improvisation sets a new standard for creativity and communication between musicians.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Mazkeka. Given the difficult year we have all endured and are still enduring, calling this event a "celebration" seems excessive. Instead, we invite you to focus on "deep listening." We still believe in the necessity of culture and live music as vital as air to breathe.
The lineup aims to reflect the reality we live in—between friction and solace, pain and healing. This year's Zikuk Festival spans five days, exploring all forms of artistic music —from traditional to experimental, jazz to folk, noise to electronic, lyrics to rhythm.
