Chants de la Mediterranée

A musical show that focuses on the Mediterranean heritage and where the Andalusian, Sephardic and French cultures intersect, reaffirming the historical and emotional link that unites the peoples of the Mediterranean with France.

The Andalusian repertoire encompasses the classical music that was born in Al-Andalus (Cordoba, Granada and Seville) in the 9th century and which settled permanently in the Maghreb at the end of the 15th century. It is a vast repertoire with more than 600 compositions, mostly of the genre nuba y naqlab.

The Sephardic repertoire is drawn from the compositions of Line Monty, Lili Boniche, Reinette l'Oranaise and other great artists.

The French song will include one or two pieces from the repertoire of Édith Piaf, mixed with sounds of Arabic instruments.
