NAÏSSAM JALAL
Flute, Nay, Voice, Texts, Composition
YANN PITTARD
Oud, Guitar, Fx, Composition
Sensuous, bewitching, light and mellow, NOUN YA’s electro-acoustic compositions show the combined influences of traditional Eastern music and classical music, modern music and jazz.
On stage, they magically wield effects and samples in real time, creating the illusion that there are more than just the two of them. With their unbridled energy they arouse genuine emotion. Their repertoire is the expression of their freedom.

« The duo Noun Ya dedicates, with the album Aux Résistances, its nine unclassifiable pieces to the people and artists they met in India, Lebanon, Egypt, Mali. Creation without borders. It remains for us to listen to this unusual musical poetry in order to hear once again a strength and energy velvety with hope – Tous Montreuil (2009)
