1- A la Source van Isabelle de Spoelberch, Vardan Hovanissian, Tristan Driessens en Emre Gültekin
The music of the album Appel à la Source pays tribute to what music from different corners of the world has in common ‘à la source’. The music is inspired by Scandinavian mythology, shamanism, the four elements of nature, Eastern mysticism and the ancestral tradition of itinerant singer-poets in Anatolia, Bengal and Senegal. All these influences are interwoven in a richly varied and mysterious album on which twelve guest musicians from seven different countries have collaborated. CD. Appel à la source – Isabelle de Spoelberch, Vardan Hovanissian, Tristan Driessens en Emre Gültekin. LABEL: Seyir Muzik (2021), code: 2GN017. VIDEO
