ZIRYAB’S JOURNEY

Company Bab Assalam (Syria-France)

Young audience / Les Z'ethnos (7 y.o)
Alhambra, Genève 

Born out of an encounter between Syrian and French musicians, Bab Assalam presents a musical evocation of the long roads of exile. The figure of Ziryab, the great musician of the nineteenth century who was forced to leave Baghdad for Andalusia by a jealous master, is the main drive of this programme. Bab Assalam offer us an engaging introduction to a music of multiple influences, drawing on the repertoires of the musician poets who followed the caravans: a fantastic alchemy between tradition and modernity, East and West.
