Michal Zak, musician (wooden flutes, shawms, clarinet)
"After several years of traveling around the world, playing concerts all over the Europe, Asia, North Africa and the United States, talking to people as well as learning their tunes I have finally got to Polish village where I discovered my new-old language. At the moment I work for preserving cultural heritage of the Polish village by learning and recording tunes of fiddlers, pipers and singers.
Meanwhile I compose, perform and record music for silent films, theatre plays, I carry on flute workshops, play concerts and dance events. I'm a prizewinner of several Polish contests for best ethno album (Lautari "Azaran" ; Janusz Prusinowski Trio "Mazurki"), best group or creation (Niedzwiecki/Zak/Kierzkowski/Pulcyn ; Duo Zak/Szyszkowski). I contibute to Polish National Radio as well as Polish National Theatre.
Music is my first language. I'm looking for perfect dialogue by playing traditional, improvised, minimal, jazz and classical music. It can be either rough dance music with aged men in a village or Chopin's works in duet with my wife's piano...."

Flûtiste de formation classique (Médaille d'or du Conservatoire National de Marseille), Isabelle Courroy s'est tout d'abord spécialisée dans la musique contemporaine. Depuis 20 ans, elle s'est orientée vers les flûtes traditionnelles KAVAL (flûtes obliques au nom turc, jouées dans les Balkans et Anatolie) qu'elle a apprit en autodidacte et directement auprès des musiciens en Roumanie, Bulgarie, Grèce et Turquie. Elle s'intéresse plus particulièrement aux liens entre tradition et création.

Né à Bobo-Dioulasso au Burkina Faso, Abdoul Aziz Sinka est initié très tôt au chant par une famille de griots.

Lors de voyages dans plusieurs pays de l’Afrique de l’Ouest, il complète son éducation musicale par l’apprentissage de percussions (djembe, douns, talking drum et calebasses) ainsi que du n’goni (harpe africaine).

Arrivé en Allemagne en 2002, Aziz crée avec son frère Ibrahim LANAYA (la confiance) pour promouvoir la culture de son pays. Avec l’apport de musiciens européens, le groupe modernise la riche tradition mandingue et impose son style particulier. Lanaya invite aussi régulièrement des musiciens du Burkina à se produire sur scène où, grâce à leur professionnalité, leur originalité et leur complicité, musiciens, danseurs et danseuses savent enthousiasmer le public.

En 2008, accompagné d’un bassiste et du flûtiste et saxophoniste Hannes Kies, Aziz évolue avec TRIO DJEKAFO dans une formation afro beat plus intimiste.

En 2009, Aziz s’engage dans un projet ambitieux: BEN KADY (la paix, c’est bien). Réunissant des musiciens d’une quinzaine de pays, cet ensemble se veut un exemple exceptionnel de diversité sociale, culturelle et musicale. D’horizons très différents, chaque artiste apporte une idée qu’il s’agit pour les autres de travailler et de réinterpréter en commun. Ouverture d’esprit, tolérance, courage et talent : voilà ce qui a fait la force et le succès de ce projet unique qu’Aziz espère renouveler chaque année !

Sa volonté de dialogue interculturel et musical, Aziz la montre aussi en s’investissant dans divers autres projets internationaux.

En 2005, il est le premier musicien africain à être invité au festival Sharq Taronalari, soutenu par l’UNESCO, en Ouzbékistan. En tant que percussionniste, il fait la même année une tournée avec Interkunst, un groupe d’artistes qui travaille contre le racisme et la violence. Depuis 2006, Aziz se produit régulièrement sur la scène house de Lituanie avec DJ Avieras. 2008 le mène aux Etats-Unis, à Charlotte (Caroline du Nord) où il dirige des ateliers de danse et de percussions avec Oneaka Dance Company.

A Berlin, Aziz - solo ou avec ses musiciens - a eu le privilège d’ouvrir des manifestations de haut rang comme le festival du film africain, AfriKamera, ou la Fanmeile de la Coupe du monde de football 2006 ou encore l’IAAF, le championnat du monde d’athlétisme de 2009. C’est aussi lui qui inaugure « 24h/Berlin », le premier documentaire en temps réel de l’histoire de la télévision que la chaine ARTE a diffusé en septembre 2009, pour les 20 ans de la chute du Mur de Berlin.

Rémi grew up in a musical family. He discovered (continental) bagpipe at the age of 10. Sort of coïncidence: his great-grandfather, Emmanuel Durlet, a well-known composer and pianist, was fascinated about bagpipes and traditional music (he composed for instance 'Bagpipe player'). Whistles took through the years a right place next to the pipes.
Tradition and creativity makes Rémi's musical language rich, inventive and spontaneous. His talents and his desires bring him to start up different eclectic projects:
'K VOEL ME BELG: different prizes and recorded by "Le Monde est un Village" (RTBF-national Belgian radio) on the 4th compilation.
GRIFF: a sextet which makes you love bagpipe! His first album raised a lot of dust on the "pipes stage"
BBGE (Belgian Bagpipe Groove Experience): the only Belgian Bagpipes fanfare!
DUO DECKER-DECOMBEL: different prizes, basement of different projects and a first album in 2008 (Fil D'Air, APR 1315).
Rémi performs as well with SOURDINE, IALMA and the French band MINUIT GUIBOLLES.
Rémi already toured with his projects in Poland, Finland (Kaustinnen Folk Festival), Italy (Liguria, Puglia), France, Spain, Andorra, Germany, Austria...
Next to the stage, Rémi is also often asked for different projects as studio musician (film music, singer song...) and is become a famous teacher for whistle and bagpipe.

SHLOMO BAR

Shlomo Bar is the group's leader and moving spirit. Composer, soloist, drummer, vocalist and founder of Habrera Hativeet, Bar was born in Rabat, Morocco, in 1943. He draws much of his musical inspiration from Biblical and modern Israeli themes. On stage, Bar captivates his audience first by a steady beat on the drums, and then by drawing the other musicians into instrumental and vocal harmony. He arranges and composes most of the group's songs and plays drums and flute - all accompanied by a voice that comes from deep within his soul.
"With the oriental approach to art," says Bar,"there has to be continuity between past and present. In my music I try to create this bond to be a link in the chain connecting my parents to my children."
