Mosaïca – Maroc, France – Trad. music, Gnawa, Arabo-Andalousian

Mosaïca deeply moves horizons and outlines the forgotten link between lands of Occitania and Northern African land…

All about Mosaïca: www.myspace.com/mosaicadus

INFO for cultural Actors: Mosaïca is based in Toulouse, France.

Biography : Because of their audaciousness and their music search,the musicians of Mosaïca deeply move horizons, and outline the forgotten link between lands of Occitania and Northern African land.

At the rate of “bourrées”, of traditional Morocco melodies and of Occitan “rondeaux”, this winding caravan sings cultures in Gascon, Arabic, or French.

Mosaïca feeds itself of arabesques between Guembri and Clari, Gânoun and “vièle à roué” in an atmosphere of incandescente nouba.

And the resoudning dream of a « new Andalousia » comes true.

Biography: Two pearls sometimes make one beautiful jewel.

The meeting between the singer Alima and the guitarist Lone Kent is one of these. Alima tell stories and tells about herself.

He draws from the depths of her soul, looks for the pain to sublimate it, to offer it like a bunch of dead-nettles changed into roses… Lone Kent, musician of silences, accompanies her with his guitar, like a blues man. Spellbinding.
