KIYA TABASSIAN, SÉTAR & VOIX
ABLAYE CISSOKO, KORA & VOIX
PATRICK GRAHAM, PERCUSSION

De tout temps, en tous lieux, la Parole du monde s’est incarnée dans celle, terrestre, du barde, du troubadour ou du griot. Ces artisans poètes, tout autant passeurs que pacificateurs, sont le trait d’union avec les forces de la nature, le divin indicible, la mémoire des anciens. Il leur revient d’entretenir le foyer quotidien de l’âme collective.

Éternels oiseaux migrateurs, Kiya Tabassian, maître du sétar et défricheur de mémoires, et Ablaye Cissoko, griot de Saint-Louis du Sénégal et maître de la kora sillonnent les scènes du monde ensemble depuis dix ans. Ensemble, avec le virtuose de percussion Patrick Graham, ces libres penseurs et voyageurs font du monde leur jardin.

Everywhere, from time immemorial, the Word has been embodied by the bard, the troubadour, the griot. These wordsmiths, at once messengers and peacemakers, are the links with the forces of nature, the inexpressible divine, the memory of the ancients. It falls to them to maintain the realm of the collective soul.

Nowadays, these freethinkers and travellers are making the world their garden… like Kiya Tabassian, the virtuoso of Persian setar and Ablaye Cissoko, griot from Saint-Louis, Senegal, both eternally migrating birds. This meeting between Ablaye and Constantinople, between strings and vocals, goes back in time to evoke the beauty of being. It is a joint passage through the common sites of the imagination, like a long breath before the inexorable march of the world and time.

True musicians are becoming a very rare thing these days.
This is truly wonderful

[nayan]

In the world full of chaos music is something which brings in peace and harmony.

[billywhizz]

Imagine if all the nations of the world came together in such beautiful harmony as these three musicians! Thanks so much for sharing.

[pirouzhamidian-rad]

How beautifully art and the language of music has so beautifully and harmoniously brought 3 artists from three different continents together in one body! Globalization at its best!

[TchelovekBezGlaza]

The world must be like this, a harmony, friendship, love, art and the pleasure to be together.

[pradodude]

I am so lucky to come across this brilliant music. Quite rare these days to have music that speaks to the soul.

[graziellacampanini]

Ce concert me rappelle le premier concert de Kora que j'ai organisé il y a fort longtemps à Paris. C'est une musique qui fait voyager les coeurs au-delà des grondements du monde, une musique d'union des âmes et de paix totales.

[ezionuti]

Il mio cuore, si aggiunge a tutti i cuori di coloro che hanno avuto la fortuna di ascoltare questa musica meravigliosa. 🫂❤️

[pierreguichard]

What a shame we can only put one LIKE !

[anseladams]

la musique a cette capacité aujourd'hui si rare d'utiliser les différences pour en faire une force. Ce projet en est la preuve, 3 continents qui ne font plus qu'un, celui de la tolérance et du partage. Ce genre d'initiative artistique dépasse le cadre musical, c'est un véritable message, une voie à suivre. MERCI.

[Mojtala]

Three different cultures, one word! Beautiful!

[olivierriviere]

Magnifique! Ca transporte dans un monde de paix et de sérénité.

[ТатьянаВоробьева-зж]

Эта гармония будет на всей Земле! Между людьми, природой, небесами!❤ Играй, Музыкант!

[paulmart]

This is the best thing that's happened to me all month.
Thank you, wonderful artists & sound techs who put on this show!

[evelyn]

Your music unites us all in ❤ as if we sit under the Stars, feeling blessed by Creation with a cheering fire, reminding us of essential matters that need no words.. Thank you

[meinvornamemeinnachname]

Whenever I feel bad, depressed or sick, I watch this video as a cure.

[breizh-gitarguitarinbritan]

Je ne connaissais pas, c'est magnifique !

[fatihsirin]

Greetings from Turkey, a wonderful concert that shows how music removes all boundaries and makes everyone "us"... Thank you neighbor, thank you...

[marinaleal]

I don't know if it is this music, the way they play or the moment I am living, but listening I feel the urgent necessity to thank life, for the past, for the future, for being Here.

[kamelboubendir]

un baume pour le cœur ! La musique, le vrai langage universel, harmonieux et sincère... MERCI.
