Simin Tander (www.simintander.com)
German – Afghan singer and composer Simin Tander is one of the most amazing voices in
Jazz/ World today. Her warm, tender yet powerful timbre exudes a pull, a heart-opening
intensity that is rare indeed. Simin draws a fascinating route to her Mid- Eastern heritage
by also singing in Afghaani / Pashto, the language of her late father. Beside rich
songwriting and highly original interpretations, Simin ́s unique approach to vocal
improvisations remains a trademark of hers. Creating her own language, far away from
the usual scat-singing and full of life-enhanced freedom.
