Ibantuta - On the Silk Roads
Bayt Dakira (Medina of Essaouira)
The musician Ibantuta (French of Basque origin) has traveled through 12 countries along the ancient Silk Road, collaborating with nearly 40 musicians playing traditional stringed instruments.
Ibantuta presents an immersive and captivating solo cinematic performance, blending the evocative power of his oud with striking visual projections filmed during his journey. More than a concert, it is a sensory and emotional experience, a true bridge between tradition and modernity.
