Information

Young audience concert, with video mapping, Creation 2019 At the beginning, there is a sound, and a line. The sound vibrates, the line comes to life. And from this trait is born a character: a woman, the Silencious, with her long hair. She will be our guide on this musical journey. Meïkhâneh offers a dreamlike concert where the images guide the imagination and take us to the heart of the stories that are told in the songs: the woman-nature, the Silent woman whose body is a landscape, the gallop of horses in the steppe, birds migrants in a storm, a seed in the earth, a weeping mountain, an egg that hides a heart ... Meïkhâneh's music is both soft and powerful. It gives us to hear sounds and instruments from distant horizons. We are moved by Mongolian throat singing and overtone chants, touched by the crystalline voice, shaken by the thunder of the large full moon-like drum, charmed by the swan-headed lute and the kazhak dombra. The visual creation is projected in mapping on a light and delicate support. Around the themes of their latest album, (La Silencieuse, Buda Musique, 2017), nature, the elements, travel, the Meïkhâneh trio gives us their compositions inspired by the traditions of Iran, Mongolia, and Europe. A spectacle resembling a forest, calm and abundant, where the songs of water, wind and earth resonate.

Routes NomadesIt's been 15 years since Routes Nomades  has been developing musical and heritage projects around khöömii (Mongolian overtone singing). Started our adventure on the paths of Mongolia, from Ulaanbaatar to the High Altai, we have explored different musical horizons on the way since 2006; until the edition of the first Anthology of Mongolian Khöömii (2017), through the elaboration of the nomination file of the Mongolian Traditional Art of Khöömii on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, UNESCO (inscribed in 2010). Inviting Mongolian artists every year since 2006, we organized more than a hundred concerts, over fifty workshops of overtone singing and produced 4 CDs with Buda Musique (Music from the World Collection) and Pan Records (Ethnic Series Collection) labels. With all these adventures, a French filmmaker Jean-François Castell made the documentaries “Masters of Overtone singing” (2010) which won multiple awards and recently "Journey Into Khöömii" (2018). Since June 2018 Routes Nomades  is an ONG accredited by UNESCO. Frequent artistic advice for the projects related to overtone singing: Fes Festival of World Sacred Music, Morocco (2013, 2016); Théâtre de la Ville-Abesses, Paris (2009, 2010, and 2013); Les Orientales Festival, St-Florent-le-Vieil (2006, 2013); Le rêve de l'Aborigène Festival, Airvault (since 2006 to present).
