Sowal Diabi by De Kaboul A Bamako
This ambitious project initiated with a reflection on exile and refugees and resulted in an original musical creation bringing together 12 artists - Arat Kilo, Mamani Keita, Ruşan Filiztek, Aida Nosrat, etc. - to create a repertoire of 14 songs, with influences from ethio-jazz, Afghan, Malian and Persian music. A clever mix of cultures, languages, and musicalities where emotion is the anchor

“Sowal” means “question” in Persian, “diabi” means “answer” in Bambara. Sowal Diabi brings together artists that have all experienced exile, physical or cultural: Malian singer Mamani Keita, Iranian singer Aïda Nosrat, her compatriot Sogol Mirzaei playing the târ (lute), Afghan tabla-player Siar Hashimi, Kurdish stranbej (virtuoso singer) Ruşan Filiztek and French Ethio-jazz group Arat Kilo
