HfK Jazzclub: Lapislazuli
Lapislazuli is a musical project by Elena Yaqubee dedicated to exploring and reinterpreting traditional Afghan folk songs in collaboration with Joel. Unlike 34 Afghan Windows, this project focuses entirely on celebrating the beauty, cultural richness and musical heritage of Afghanistan. At a time when music is being brutally silenced and banned under the Taliban regime, Lapislazuli aims to preserve these precious traditions and give them a stronger voice – thereby giving a voice to a culture that endures despite oppression.
Together with international artists from the German music scene, the ensemble takes the audience on a journey through the traditional sounds of Afghanistan. In doing so, it bridges the past and the present whilst sowing the seeds of hope, resilience and joy.
Through music, Lapislazuli pays tribute to a country that is all too often perceived solely through the lens of conflict and war, and instead reveals the profound beauty and humanity of its cultural heritage.
Guitar & vocals: Elena Yaqubee
Electric guitar & electronics: Fabio Joel Tunno
Tabla: Ustad Feraydoon Meyazada
Double bass: Nico Tarek Meinen

The "hfk jazzclub" is the venue for contemporary jazz in Bremen. Concerts and sessions with musicians from the university and local and national musicians take place every Tuesday of the semester at 8pm in the basement vault of the University of Music. Passionate jamming takes place here, or student tryout programmes are presented. Semester projects by the Rehearsal Band and themed concert programmes are also on offer. In short: a think tank for jazz and a meeting place for Bremen's jazz scene.
