Here’s what they have to say about the Mezrab:
Every Saturday night, musicians from all over the world meet in the heart of Amsterdam at the Iranian Teahouse Mezrab to play in fascinating jam-sessions. The Mezrab is a place where the dream of a Dutch multicultural society seems to become reality. But did the Iranian family who started the Mezrab’s and the musicians who always gather there manage to connect with the Dutch community around them? What’s their relationship with the local music tradition known as Smartlappen? Can music be considered a creative tool for intercultural communication and therefore for integration? These questions will be addressed in occasion of the 5th anniversary of the Mezrab, when the local Smartlap singers will be invited to join a night of musical improvisation and intercultural communication.

Tomorrow (Friday, May 15) is storytelling night for English speakers. Join us! You don’t have to tell a story, but if you’ve got one you want to share we are good listeners.
Important!
Mezrab has a new landlord, so we need to be even more cautious with our neighbours.
1. Please don’t park your bike in the street of the Mezrab, but rather in one of the sidestreets or on the bridge.
2. Don’t stand and talk in front of the Mezrab after 22.45, rather, walk to the end of the street for a chat and a smoke.
Thank you!
