Sur des terres autrefois tissées dans la trame de l’empire, le café ottoman se savoure encore dans des tasses familières. Connu sous différents noms, il porte pourtant les traces d’un passé commun. Comme le riche arôme du café qui voyage au-delà des frontières, des chansons et des pièces instrumentales des traditions turque, grecque, arménienne, arabe, ladino et bosniaque réunissent les voix, les histoires et les mémoires de cultures entrelacées depuis longtemps sur trois continents.
Avec des arrangements et des compositions originales de la kanuniste et compositrice Didem Başar, ce spectacle réunit des musiciens accomplis dans un dialogue vibrant de mélodies, de rythmes et d’improvisation.
Ce concert nous invite à nous rassembler autour de cette tasse symbolique, où les mélodies deviennent une langue commune et où l’histoire se goûte, une chanson à la fois.

Across lands once woven into the fabric of the empire, Ottoman coffee is still savoured in familiar cups. Known by different names, it nonetheless carries the traces of a shared past. Like the rich aroma of coffee that travels beyond borders, songs and instrumental pieces from the Turkish, Greek, Armenian, Arabic, Ladino and Bosnian traditions bring together the voices, stories and memories of cultures long intertwined across three continents.
Featuring original arrangements and compositions by kanun player and composer Didem Başar, this performance brings together accomplished musicians in a vibrant dialogue of melody, rhythm and improvisation.
This concert invites us to gather around this symbolic cup, where melodies become a common language and history is tasted one song at a time.
