Join this four-piece professional band on a journey along the shores of the Mediterranean!

Gibraltar plays music from all over the Mediterranean, from southern French chansons to Corsican paghjellas and Italian tarantellas, from North African raï to the songs of Fairuz (Lebanon), Savina Yannatou (Greece) and Tarkan (Turkey).

The Strait of Gibraltar is where Europe and Africa almost touch: meeting, fraternizing!

The Dutch band Gibraltar consists of four seasoned, driven professional musicians.*

Dirkjan de Koning - percussion
Erman Türkeli - keys / accordion / violin / vocals
Joris Vermeulen - reeds (incl. ney and EWI) / vocals
Pieter van Lier - double bass / bass guitar / ud / vocals

With live short, entertaining commentaries on the music played.

Atmospheric, diverse, surprising, infectious!

* if desired, supplemented by singer Tessa Meester (recently graduated from the Rockacademie Tilburg).

The prices are indicative. With additional musicians, such as the aforementioned singer, the price will be slightly higher anyway.

NB: our repertoire is more extensive than listed here; the database behind the website does not know some of our songs, and some we have written ourselves or had written by professional composers.
