Le Chemin / The Way (Flute & 3 Koras)

Written by Jacques Burtin. Performed by Josèphe Gouriou (flute), Marie-Chantal Froment, Odile Portal and Jacques Burtin (koras). Camera : Christophe Touzalin.

This concert was a tribute to brother Dominique Catta and the monks of the Keur Moussa Monastery (Senegal). Chapelle des Carmes de Paris, January 17th, 2010.

The brother Dominique Catta worked all his life (and is still working) on the kora. He created a Method based on scores and written exercises to study the instrument. He is also a composer. The monks of Keur Moussa were the first kora players to build koras with tuning pegs or guitar keys.
