Of hij nou met zijn groep ´The Chris Hinze Combination´ tourt of met 'Visual Concert', een ding is zeker, voor fluitist, componist en reiziger Chris Hinze staat muziek centraal. Al ruim 40 jaar maakt Hinze wereldmuziek en communiceert hij muzikaal met vreemde culturen. Op zijn lange reizen door Afrika, Tibet, India, Japan Birma, Bhutan, Jamaica en de Pacific eilanden liet hij zich inspireren door de mensen, de natuur, de musici en de meest vreemde geluiden variërend van stations, vliegvelden, rimboe en de zee, tot het maken van fantastische muziek; zie zijn succesvolle cd’s 'African Dreams', 'Africa Impressions' en 'Tibet Impressions 1, 2 en 3'. Gefascineerd en geïnspireerd door de eindeloze Afrikaanse natuur, de Afrikaanse bevolking, de gezangen en meeslepende ritmes en de waanzinnige foto´s van Kai Uwe Küchler besloten zij hun krachten weer te bundelen en samen weer op toernee te gaan in 2013/2014 met 'VISUAL CONCERT AFRICA IMPRESSIONS'. |

De pers over de muziek van Chris Hinze Noord Hollands Dagblad: “Chris Hinze op eenzame hoogte!” Haagsche Courant: “Een spetterende band! Grensverleggend!” De Telegraaf: “Een uitdaging voor de muzikale zintuigen. Een absolute must!" Trouw: “Een waanzinnig concert! Onnederlands! Een amalgaam van muziekculturen en -stijlen. Het gevaar van een lappendeken wordt buiten de deur gehouden." Children: “Een interessante reis om de wereld met een breed scala aan klanken en indrukken, langs allerlei muzikale stijlen, van jazz en pop tot dance en wereldmuziek.” Music Maker: “Knap om na zoveel albums nog steeds inspiratie te hebben om alle hoeken van het muzikale spectrum, improvisaties, melodie, ritme te verkennen.” Elegance: “verrassend... muziek met ballen… een vervoermiddel van de geest... Zeer de moeite waard.” |

The programme 'Tibet Impressions – a Visual Concert', transports you to the unknown and fascinating world of the Tibetans, their monastic communities and their lives amidst the overwhelming surroundings of the Tibetan landscape. Breathtaking images (impressions of the journey) are shown on a big screen in combination with hauntingly beautiful Tibetan sounds. Virtuoso flute, collages and personal stories are ingeniously melded into a fascinating, spectacular and powerful whole, and this impressive combination creates the illusion that you are travelling through the roof of the world. |

Theatre Tour 'Serieuzere Zaken' [2007]
After rapper Raymzter approached Chris Hinze to work with him on his new single + clip ‘Vechten Op Het Schoolplein’ (Fighting In The School-yard), the two musicians hit it off so well that the idea of working together again could not be ruled out. With the versatile Moroccan vocalist Rajae el Mouhandiz and The Band the concert tour 'Serieuzere Zaken' (More Serious Business) soon evolved.
Two inspired musicians, with music-making as their ‘raison d’etre’, who both use hiphop as the basis of their repertoire.Together with the talented vocalist Rajae el Mouhandiz and The Band they make a unique and surprising combination. Swinging rap-jazz-hiphop, in a socio-politically engaged wrapper make this evening a specta-cular happening. |

The Chris Hinze Combination 'Back On The Map' [2006-2007] |
|
| Here’s a short flashback for anyone who has lost the plot: The CHC was a so-called fusion band in the seventies, with a primarily American influence, working with John Lee, Gerry Brown, Roger Cooke, James Batton, The Brecker Brothers en Larry Coryell among others. The eighties brought the band more ethnic influences from Africa and India and Chris Hinze played with Peter Tosh, Robbie Shakespeare, Sly Dunbar, Don Burrows, Trilok Gurtu, Ramesh Shotham, Fode Youla, Arto Tuncboyaci, Lelo M’Batchi et al. |
