The son of a famous Jewish Iraki musician, the Israeli Dudu Tassa is a shaker and a mover when it comes to modern oriental music.

As a singer-songwriter, he rocks and rolls to the ample traditional Middle Eastern and Iraki classic repertory as well as drawing his energy from more modern musical styles.
He blends Arabic and Hebrew and mixes distorted electric guitars with the thousand year old qanun.

That way he pays hommage to his ancestors whilst at the same time he carries forward his own family tradition which is dedicated to writing the more modern and more culturally mixed chapters of popular Arab musical history.

A key figure of modern arab music, Emel Mathlouti has an incomparable grace.

Her voice is free and sparkling.
A rebel carried by the wind of the arab revolution, she travels like an adventurer between folk-song, trip-hop and oriental rock, taking her inspiration from Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Marcel Khalifa and Chikh Imam.
She is the incarnation of rage nestling in velvet and the scent of her political engagement is as strong as the perfume of jasmine.

She is the enlightened voice of Tunisian youth yearning for freedom...

Lulled by the harmonic treasures of the samba and the bossa nova as well as the haunting melodies of the northeastern forro and pagoda, Flavia Coelho shamelessly pulls Brazilian music in the direction of hip-hop, ragga and out-and-out fusion.

With her soft voice modulations and her incisive flows, the young Carioca siren oozes a solar and sensual charm.

Innovating and unpolished yet mischievous and joyful, her bossa-muffin is a jubilating introduction to what Brazil has to offer to the music world today...

Punctuated with unique and punchie digital rhythms, the ancient Sefarad songs have entered the digital age with brio.

Mazal dares to propose traditional jewish melodies for dance-floor material and his music juggles subtly between vocals, haunting atmospheres and the blazing power of Electro.

The result is an irresistible and explosive live show, a tightrope walk of samples, beats, percussions and double bass that play for us by the daring duo.

A combination of an enchanting voice and mixed sounds that is so daring that John Zorn decided to include it on his Tzadik label.

With its lyrical flight and its crepuscular atmosphere, Minor Syndicate rejuvenates Armenian traditional music, immersing it with an equal pleasure in jazz, folk and even prog rock music.

At the heart of this exciting Marseillaise adventure lies the soft, deep and ample sounds of the duduk, the Armenian oboe that has been declared Immaterial Unesco World Heritage.

Its intense vibrations reach a rare deep melancholy. And with the audacity of youth and talent, Minor Syndicate opens up new possibilities for this ancient instrument.

When Sibongile Mbambo first comes out on stage, her powerful aura precedes her.

The multi-skilled artist from South Africa who is at the same time a singer, dancer, percussionist and a painter performs her own songs in her native language, Xhosa. Xhosa comes from Southern Africa and sounds like a click of the tongue.

Originally from Cape Town, now living in Marseilles, Sibongile Mbambo blends her warm and refined voice with the delicate sound of guitars, serene percussions, light flute as well as a disconcerting overtone singing...

The result of this marriage of cultures is subtle and enchanting.
