Canticum Novum - Al-Basma: Voyage au cœur d'Al-Andalus (2021) Hi-Res

Specialist in ancient music, the ensemble Canticum Novum, ('New Song') founded by Emmanuel Bardon in 1996, has forged a unique identity by drawing its repertoire from plural identities, with the common factor of the various traditions of the Mediterranean basin. and cultures that come from or are close to it: a desire to join East and West which, ultimately, are always united, if only by the solar circle. This refusal of cultural borders is nourished by a fraternal dream which was illustrated by the disc Paz, Salam & Shalom, that is to say the word 'Peace' in Spanish, Arabic and Hebrew, which had for ambition, to through the respective Christian, Jewish and Moorish music, to go back to the common roots of these monotheistic cultures of the Book, apparently diverse, whose sap, ramifications and flowering are mixed, mixed.
