Rituals for Peace
Brice Soniano gathers around him extraordinary musical people who share many traits in common: a deep respect and curiosity towards music from other cultures than their own. A constant thirst for pushing the limits of their instruments. A deep joy playing together and sharing their discoveries with each other, and the audience.

Their music has a strong connection to the rich traditions of Persian and Ottoman culture. The listener will recognize the odd-meter grooves and lyrical modes. But they are not afraid to bring in sounds from their own eclectic journeys. They have been in close contact with the music of the Baka pygmies in Cameroon, North Indian classical music and folk musics from different corners of Europe.
