Late Night Jazz: Cinna Peyghamy

A Late Night Jazz evening at the Elgar Room of the Royal Albert Hall, featuring the Paris-based French-Iranian percussionist and composer Cinna Peyghamy as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival.

Cinna Peyghamy, a percussionist, composer and producer based in Paris, performs in this edition of the Late Night Jazz series, which is curated by Sarathy Korwar. The event takes place in the Elgar Room, a space at the Royal Albert Hall, and is part of the EFG London Jazz Festival.

The recent work of the artist centres on transforming acoustic sounds in real time. The core of the set-up is the tombak, a traditional percussion instrument, which is combined with a modular synthesiser. This pairing blurs the line between acoustic and electronic sounds, and between the traditional and the contemporary.

The Late Night Jazz series presents newer names from the London scene alongside well-known jazz standards. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the audience is free to dance, move about, sing along or simply enjoy the music in whatever way suits them.
