Naïssam Jalal - Healing Rituals

Naïssam Jalal has composed eight imaginary healing rituals in response to the violence of our world. These “Healing Rituals” provide shelter for suffering spirits and bodies through silence, trance and beauty. Although very contemporary, these rituals are in line with the healing rituals of the ancestral and often animistic traditions that inspired them.   “Naïssam Jalal maintains a gentle course, despite the anger of today’s world. Flutist, composer and vocalist, she has created, project after project, a music that returns to her instinctive strength. Untiringly. Healing Rituals is maybe the quintessential example of this quest. Almost whispered, the music reveals itself to be a true ritual, inspired by traditional cultures and their ways of accompanying life and healing ailments. The invisible, an age-old subject for Naïssam Jalal, earned her an award at the 2019 Victoires du jazz. Her reconnection with the spirit is at the origin of Healing Rituals, bringing together different extra-Western trance traditions, aiming for collective grace.” Sons D’hiver
