Hijaz car

Description

5 musicians from jazz, traditional music, improvised, contemporary, electric, experimental come together to unite East and West, sacred and profane, tradition and modernity. "At the dawn of the 2000s, L'Hijâz'Car built its first golden bridges. Those that illuminate the night of Istanbul and bring together the East and the West, the sacred and the profane. Until now known as a luxury squadron in the service of the majestic Houria Aïchi, it took a decade and a few hundred concerts around the world for their first album to see the light of day. Raised on the liturgies of Olivier Messiaen AND the Tuareg trances, there is never any question of "fusion" in their music but rather a common A.D.N invented. Here Mingus escapes from an Algerian radio station, there, Pasolini films the funeral procession of Atatürk, Gil Evans crosses Taksim Square in an Ottoman sedan. They thus invent a modern and contemporary tradition, a rumor formed by all the languages of the world but of which only they master the scholarly and fiercely free grammar." BABX
