Naïssam Jalal explores the essential link between music, nature and spirituality at the heart of Indian classical music, in a new creation based on the landscapes of North India. The flutist, vocalist and composer spent several months traveling alone around India in search of the spirit of Hindustani music. Nourished by her encounters and learning, she has composed an intimate, spiritual repertoire rooted in her tangible sensations. The unique instrumentation reflects both the contemporary aesthetic and the strong link with the language of Indian classical music.
She brings together Indian classical musicians Samrat Pandit on vocals, Sougata Roy Chowdhury on sarod, Nabankur Bhattacharya on tablas, Franco-Brazilian pianist Leonardo Montana, Brazilian drummer Zaza Desiderio and Flo Comment on tanpura.
Naïssam made a short film with Béatrice Kordon to tell the story of her journey and the personal and aesthetic path she followed in this new creation, which you can watch here.
