Trio Tzane. Live in Paris 19-04-09 (1a/9)

Janam, tzane m', jân, This persian word, that travelled through the centuries from Iran to Turkey, and then to Greece and Bulgaria, means soul. Trio Tzane is the story of a meeting. Three women, three singers, three nationalities, meet in Paris and decide to join their voices in polyphony. They tell stories so different, yet so similar. They sing in greek, turkish, bulgarian, serbian, macedonian, telling balkanic stories, sang in their own way on in the way of the ancestors, mixing vocal improvisations with compositions of young compositors. A voyage from Epirus and Macedonia to Bulgaria, and then Turkey and the Black Sea. A story told by three voices, that join and separate in particular harmonic patterns.

Wow, Donegal - thank you once again for bringing the world to my doorstep, so to speak. I greatly look forward to viewing this series - it's wonderful, already, to hear this exquisite music from the other side of the globe blend with frog music and spring rain falling gently outside my window in the New York Catskill Mountains.
