German Jazz Award 2018 for the Album Flying Carpet together with Quadro Nuevo
Building Bridges between cultures and to send an indirect message to the audience, creating an positive image about the Egyptian Culture Heritage was the reason why Basem Darwisch founded the German/Egyptian Band Cairo Steps in 2003 .
Cairo Steps merges and combines traditional Egyptian and oriental grooves with modern jazz and classics , using vocal inserts with old Arabic poems . it is a mix between improvisation, classical music and contemporary sounds. The music is influenced by spiritual ethnic music as well as European music traditions and alternates between strong unison rhythms, virtuoso solos and meditative soundscapes. The result is a unique music style and an exciting blend of various cultures
Basem could manage to make Cairo Steps plays the role of the umbrella that has all of the different musical genres and experiences merged together all the way from spiritual chants to modern classics with their own flavor and to pursues the vision of crossing cultural, political and religious borders and building bridges between the occident and the orient. Basem Darwisch’s Vision is to present the audience with a tense spiritual musical experience as language that can help them transcend over their earthly matters and to use the concert to create an atmosphere of tolerance and acceptance of other and different cultures advocating the motto “Music is the bonding force” 
His Vision is also to leave an positive impression about the Egyptian culture heritage through short speeches , visuals and introductions during Cairo Steps concerts in Europe in very well known opera houses and theaters e.g. : Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Philharmonie Berlin, Alte Oper Frankfurt, Prinzregententheater München, Theaterhaus Stuttgart  , Kuwait , Abou Dhabi and Cairo Opera House etc.

“Without music, life would be a mistake.”

Sebastian Schub is one of the UKs most exciting up-and-coming artists.

 

With over 1 million streams on Spotify for his Debut hit Single 'Paradise', and over 500 live shows under his belt in just 3 years, Sebastian Schub’s promising musical career, is ever gaining momentum and shows no signs of slowing down.

 

Marked by an overwhelming stage presence, a dynamic songwriting style and a powerhouse voice, Sebastian Schub is a force of nature and turns heads with his jaw dropping performances wherever he goes. Musically floating somewhere between contemporary Irish Folk and gritty American Soul and Blues, yet his eclectic mix of influences and musical range bursts the limitations of these genres.

 

Sebastian has just come off stage supporting The Coronas for their London Headline show at Shepherds Bush Empire and his new single '4AM' has made a successful radio debut on BBC Introducing with Daniel Pascoe.

 

Sebastian initially found his musical ambition busking on the streets of London.  Videos of him performing have racked in hundreds of thousands of views on Instagram and YouTube leading to frequent collaborations with other prominent street performers such as Ireland's very own Allie Sherlock.

 

However, Sebastian has found notoriety and praise way beyond street corners and bridge overpasses. And can often be found performing at one of Sofar Sounds’ secret shows; in the centre of Dublin’s most famed songwriter circles; or on the stage at Camden’s most notorious talent-farm and music venue; Spiritual Bar – a place that nurtured the likes of Michael Kiwanuka and Jade bird.

​

Sebastian is currently self-releasing his "Waiting for the Encore” EP with the next and final single "Shape of the World" coming out this November.
