The Mediterranean has always been a sea of encounters and exchanges. It has never served as a border that irrevocably separates the communities and cultures that inhabit its shores. Each shore calls out to the other, constantly, inevitably, and throughout the ages. Across the centuries and beyond borders, Amel Brahim-Djelloul and Thomas Keck invite us on a poetic journey, a musical odyssey where Arab-Andalusian music blends with the Sephardic repertoire, where traditional Spanish songs collected by Federico García Lorca engage in dialogue with the richness and sensitivity of the folk songs of Manuel de Falla, and where the voices of the Kabyle mountains meet the timelessness of the polyphonies of the Spanish Renaissance. The chemistry between Amel Brahim-Djelloul’s luminous timbre and Thomas Keck’s finely crafted playing offers an intimate reinterpretation of these masterpieces, in which the guitar takes on the roles of orchestra, lute or percussion in turn.
