Oneïra 6tet – Iran, Greece, France This project is the outcome of the collaboration of French, Iranian and Greek musicians, inspired by these countries’ musical traditions. Oneïra gathers together six musicians with a long experience in various types of music, such as jazz, classical, and traditional music. They create a musical bridge between their cultures, in an attempt to explore the common features of the Mediterranean music. From Marseille, Paris, Athens and Thessaloniki, formed with Bijan Chemirani on percussion, Kevin Seddiki on the guitar, Maryam Chemirani and Maria Simoglou singing, Harris Lambrakis on the ney, and Pierlau Bertolino on the electroacoustic wheel fiddle, this group creates a musical bridge with a hint of sensual melancholy, fusing the different cultures of its musicians. It will give you the chance to explore the common features of Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern music styles. OnEira, un rêve? Non pas une manière d'échapper au quotidien, à la réalité, mais plutôt une autre façon, à la fois étrange et familière, de sentir et percevoir le monde. Peut-être peut-on alors sentir sous nos pieds vibrer les racines du passé , la tête sous les branches où bourgeonnent des idées nouvelles. Nous avons tous fait ce rêve d'une vie meilleure, où l'on garderait de nos traditions, comme de nos inventions, tout ce qu'il y a de bon... Alors, avec nos instruments, nos passions, notre amitié, ce que nous chantent nos ancêtres, ce que nous murmurent les villes, nous jouons et fabriquons des musiques d'ici et de là bas, histoire de partager un moment sur les rives de méditerranée, et un peu plus loin, peut-être.
