Candinas launches art book in Cairo
The Mashrabia Art Gallery brings Candinas' art and Kazazian's music together in a romp through international culture on Saturday, 8 October
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 04 - 10 - 2011

Jacinta Candinas's ‘Cairo – Lucerna – Coira', a bookpublished in 2011, presents the results of a series of postcard exchanges between Jacinta Candinas (Cairo) and Manuel Vázquez (Lucerna) and includes short stories and poems by Andri Perl (Coira).
Egypt's official book launch will take place on Saturday,8October in the presence of Candinas. The event will also showcase a concert by Cairo-born Georges Kazazian.
Kazazian, of Armenian descent, has performed at some of the most prestigious festivals around the world and has composed soundtracks for several films including Aly Badrakhan's Al Goua (The Hunger) and Mohamed Khan's Zawget Ragol Mohem (The Wife of an Important Man). His music is hard to box into one genre, though it has been categorised as Egyptian Jazz. Whatever one chooses to call it, Kazazian's music is definitely a fusion, drawing on, among other influences, Indian and Armenian sounds.
His albums include Sabil (1991), Sagate (1997), Sajaya (1997), Nil Sangit (1999), Suite "al Ganûb" (1999), Monaga (2001), Azraq (2002), Dayra Jazz (2002), Neel Dhun (2008) and Zafir (2008).
The event will take place on Saturday 8 October at 8pm at the Mashrabia Gallery of Contemporary Art 8, Champollion St. Downtown, Cairo.
