Through a quintet brought together especially for the occasion, the music of Charbel Rouhana becomes a space of freedom, complicity and listening, where each instrument asserts its own voice while taking part in a collective language that is deeply expressive.
This ensemble offers a fresh reading of his repertoire, centred on the oud, bouzouk, accordion, double bass and percussion. The timbres meet, converse and reveal a sound palette of unprecedented richness. Far from a simple instrumental adaptation, these new orchestrations offer a singular perspective on Charbel Rouhana's compositions, in which tradition and contemporary creation naturally answer each other.
