XJAZZ! presents Masaa, a band whose name reflects the evening, a time for gathering and deep exchange. Their music, driven by the spirit of closeness, curiosity, and togetherness, creates an all-encompassing intensity, leaving the listener with the belief that music can move the world. On February 14, 2025, Masaa will perform at Emmauskirche, bringing their unique blend of Eastern and Western musical traditions to the stage.Their latest album, Beit (meaning "house" or "home"), showcases their musical depth, with pieces ranging from dynamic, fast-paced songs to slow, intimate moments of intense reduction. The powerful, expressive vocals of Rabih Lahoud, combined with Marcus Rust's lyrical trumpet, Demian Kappenstein's dynamic drumming, and Reentko Dirks' versatile guitar sounds, create a captivating sonic journey. Beit is an exploration of home as something more than a physical place—a space for dialogue, creativity, and mutual understanding​.
