A few week ago, I men­tioned the numer­ous and excel­lent artists liv­ing in France and invis­i­ble in the dom­i­nant media “Marre d’être invis­i­bles” (Tired of being invis­i­ble), because of their non-con­for­mi­ty to the “offi­cial” esthet­ics. I would now like to share with you the sound of artists from the area in which I move “in nor­mal times”, out­side France, between the Mediter­ranean and North­ern India.

I’ve vol­un­tar­i­ly cho­sen young inter­preters or com­posers. Ful­ly involved in their cre­ative life, they are mod­ern and inven­tive, and ful­ly take on respon­si­bil­i­ty for their ori­gins and their times, and this is good. I men­tion them in order to hon­or them, thank them, share their art with you, and remind our media they can turn toward the East and the South with­out fear. There are oceans of beau­ty where, only too often, they see at best a source of exot­ic fan­ta­sy or, at worst, mis­ery and vio­lence. Yes, there are oceans of sub­tle beau­ty each of us can love and dive into, the world is rich.

Here then are a few offer­ings on a too-short list, rad­i­cal­ly sub­jec­tive and not in the least exhaus­tive. It is not a hit parade, sim­ply the echo of a musi­cal and geo­graph­ic inti­ma­cy, at a giv­en moment…

Thus I will not list the many life and cre­ation com­pan­ions you are used to see­ing on stage with me, liv­ing in India, Turkey, Pak­istan or Moroc­co because I would have to men­tion all of them (I adore them) and that would cov­er the entire list, there are so many of them. May they for­give me. The ones intro­duced here are sim­ply part of my life as a hap­py listener.

The moment you acknowledge what is beautiful  in this world

you cease being a slave to this world”

inspired by Mirza Ghalib

As an illus­tra­tion, here is a video of an occa­sion­al duo, from the film “The female voice of Iran” by Yal­da Yalzani with the two singers:

Mina Deris (song in the south­west­ern Ara­bic of Iran) and Mal­i­heh mora­di (clas­si­cal Per­sian singing) (the music begins at 1:02)
