Avishai Cohen
Centro Cultural de Belém, Lisboa Praça do Império, Belém, Lisbon Metropolitan Area, PortugalIn the year he completes 5 decades of life, Israeli bassist, vocalist and composer Avishai Cohen embarks on a very special project which he called 50:50:50 – 50 concerts in 50 countries around the world. The musician who is now seen as a true ambassador for his country is also a committed humanist who believes that music can transform minds, unite hearts and cross any barrier or border. This is also the symbolic meaning of this trip through 50 nations of the world, as if his music were an Esperanto capable of being understood anywhere. Able to start with jazz and pop, explore Arab or Israeli nuances and go even to classical music, Avishai is a powerful creator who wants to invite us to celebrate the most positive unifying spirit of music on this special tour that goes also pass through our country, 50:50:50.
