About Tamara Obrovac
Tamara Obrovac, composer, singer and flutist, is one of those musicians to whom jazz is a path to understanding music as a whole. Furthermore, it has led her to an intensive investigation of her own regional music awareness, so she offers us a new musical journey through the Istrian and Mediterranean spaces and times. Her homeland Istria, a beautiful Croatian region and a North Adriatic peninsula, is particular for its musical and dialectal tradition which is the creative force of Tamara's works. Her utterly original and autochthonous music goes beyond time and geographical boundaries, thus becoming a universal artistic message which establishes Tamara Obrovac as an exceptional artist who has created her own unique musical expression. Tamara's unique music, played by the excellent musicians from her international Transhistria ensemble is a genuine musical mohair which skillfully and naturally incorporates the elements of jazz, Istrian and Mediterranean folk music, and many elements of modern music, while Tamara's voice is equally impressive when she sings lyrics and when she performs vocalizes, thus turning itself into an additional instrument. She has written around 200 compositions, published 13 CDs for which she composed all the music and wrote most of the lyrics. In addition to her international concert activities she composes music for theater and film and she has received many awards for her work. International recognition came also through the nomination for the BBC Radio 3 World Music awards (European music and Audience Award). Through her albums, Tamara profiles her own auctorial approach and creates a unique artistic form which, inspired by the Istrian and broader Mediterranean tradition, establishes “the personal poetics of the author”. --------------------------------------- "My approach towards music went from jazz standards, through my own compositions, to my finding of an original expression by connecting the language of the folk music of my homeland (Istria, Croatia) with the rhythms and improvisation typical for jazz, so jazz is my freedom and my roots are my inner truth.” (Tamara Obrovac) -------------------------------------
