Kiya Tabassian & Constantinople
Un muy interesante músico para seguir la pista (sin despistarse mucho, ya que va a más de disco por año) es este artista iraní instalado en Canadá, Kiya Tabassian, quien, con su proyecto Constantinople, se embarca en las más variadas experiencias y encuentros. Le escuchamos en sus dos últimos trabajos, viajando al África occidental con el korista senegalés Ablaye Cissoko y explorando los encuentros musicales de los últimos ocho siglos entre Oriente y Occidente con el conjunto Holland Baroque.
A very interesting musician to keep an eye on (without losing track of him, though, as he releases more than one album a year) is this Iranian artist based in Canada, Kiya Tabassian, who, through his project Constantinople, embarks on the most varied experiences and encounters. We hear him on his two most recent works, travelling to West Africa with the Senegalese kora player Ablaye Cissoko and exploring musical encounters between East and West over the last eight centuries with the ensemble Holland Baroque.
