Ensemble Chakam
Les Vents Brulants
The Ensemble Chakâm, reveals a dialogue of intertwining strings, delicate prose and confrontational verse that resolves into a powerful breath, sometimes laying a peaceful harmony for words to triumph. The trio blends the radiant sound of Sogol Mirzaeis tar (Iran) with the gentle touch of Christine Zayeds qanoun (Palestine), and the deep tones of Marie-Suzanne de Loyes viola da gamba (France).Drawing from the classical foundations of Persian, Arabic and Baroque repertoires, where intense rhythms give way to vibrant, melodic monologues, each Chakâm performance resonates with personal, authentic yet modern compositions woven with soulful improvisations.
