Oud and qanun from the East, clarinet and quarter-tone accordion from the Balkans: Assafir Musique (Paris) play a rare Anatolian repertoire on nine instruments with percussion and traditional singing. The pieces tell of the breadth of human emotions in the Greek diaspora, of stories of love or exile, of the search for freedom and emancipation. Profound and painful states of mind drive us to exuberant celebration, which reminds us that it is celebration that saves us from everything.
