"Les flûtes enchantées" at Musée Guimet this week-end!

Guimet invite Berlioz 

Le MNAAG et le Festival Berlioz vous réservent un week-end musical d'exception. Réservez vos places : http://www.guimet.fr/event/guimet-invite-berlioz/

Krishna est ici représenté jouant de la flûte. Dans la religion hindoue, Krishna est souvent décrit jouant de cet instrument et notamment dans sa forme bansuri, qui est probablement l'un des plus vieux instruments à vent du nord de l'Inde.

Près de six siècles après la réalisation de cette sculpture, c’est un autre joueur de flûte que nous aurons le plaisir d’accueillir dans nos murs en la personne de Rishab Prasanna, issu d’une très longue lignée de musiciens indiens et dont le grand-père était notamment le l’artiste enregistré par Alain Daniélou dans sa célèbre « anthologie de la musique indienne ».

A ses côtés le samedi 4 novembre se trouvera Samuel Bricault, l’un des plus prometteurs et jeune flûtiste de sa génération. Il a déjà joué dans de nombreux orchestres (Orchestre de l’Opéra de Paris, l'Orchestre des Pays de Savoie, l’Orchestre de la Nouvelle Europe, l'Orchestre Prométhée, Sécession Orchestra, l'ensemble Nouvelles Portées) et se passionne pour les musiques improvisées.

Le samedi 4 novembre à 15h, c’est à une rencontre musicale forte et enivrante que nous vous invitons au cœur de ce que la flûte a de meilleur.

15h00 – Salon Pelliot (hôtel d’Heidelbach, 19 avenue d’Iéna)
Les Flûtes Enchantées

Deux univers musicaux différents, deux virtuoses indiens et français. Pour le public, une plongée dans les répertoires de la flûte autour de la figure universelle du pâtre musicien à travers Debussy et les grands ragas indiens.

Rishab Prasanna, flûte bansuri
Samuel Bricault, flûte à clés

Cabaret du monde à l'Espace Langevin (Choisy-le-Roi) : chants Bauls avec Paban Das Baul et Mimlu Sen

Soirée de chants Baul avec Paban Das Baul et Mimlu Sen

Paban Das Baul et Mimlu Sen interprètent avec grande expressivité les chants traditionnels Baul. Les Bauls sont des chanteurs mystiques itinérants qui parcourent les villages du Bengale, en attirant de leur voix puissante l’attention des passants. À l’image de certains chants louant à la fois Krishna et Mohammed, la philosophie Baul transcende les dogmes religieux et les classes sociales pour porter un message d'amour et d'harmonie.

La qualité poétique et musicale des chants de ces chantres de la tradition orale est d'ailleurs bien connue : ceux‑ci ont été proclamés chefs-d’œuvre du patrimoine oral et immatériel de l’humanité par l’Unesco, en 2005.

Paban Das Baul vient du Bengale indien. Depuis l’âge de quatorze ans, il chante d'une voix fervente le répertoire des Bauls, incarnant la synergie de son lieu d’origine. Marginaux au sein de la société bengalie, les Bauls ont rejeté tous les systèmes religieux. Paban Das Baul, comme tous les Bauls, privilégie la spontanéité et l'émotion de l'instant. Il chante, danse et s'accompagne tour à tour de plusieurs instruments : le dotara (luth à deux cordes), le dubki (tambourin) et le khamak (tambour à tension variable).

Mimlu Sen soutient les chants avec l'ektara (monocorde qui crée un bourdon). Elle récite des contes et présente les chansons de Paban. Initiée par sa mère à la musique traditionnelle depuis sa plus petite enfance à Shillong. Elle a rencontré Paban à Paris en 1982 lors d’un concert. S’en est suivi une histoire d’amour et une collaboration artistique de longue haleine.

Krishna Dedeyn, leur fils, soutient les chants avec les kartalas. Depuis sa plus jeune enfance, il a été initié à la musique baul.

Depuis plus de 30 ans, Paban et Mimlu vivent et travaillent entre l’Inde et la France, et voyagent à travers le monde pour faire connaître leur musique. Ils composent et collaborent avec de nombreux musiciens français et étrangers : Archie Shepp, Cheik Tidiane Seck, Jean-Philippe Rykiel, Sam Mills. Plusieurs albums sont issus de ces échanges internationaux dont on citera les deux plus connus: Real Sugar (1997) et Tana Tani (2004), de Real World Records, très populaires au Bangladesh ainsi que dans le milieu de la musique du monde.

                 at M. L. Bhartia Auditorium, Alliance Française de Delhi

 

Passionate about various forms of music, Julien Jugand and Guillaume Duval met at University where they both studied ethnomusicology and conducted researches that have greatly influenced their musical play: a friendly, poetic and inspired duet traveling from western classical, jazz, and Latin-American repertoires. Their collaboration with the versatile mridangam player Manohar Balatchandirane is unique and promise creative surprises and new textures of sound and resonance.

He studied jazz and traditional music from Eastern Europe and West Africa and collaborated to several projects (gipsy jazz, swing, folk song, spoken word, african music,...). He studied ethnomusicology, and went to Mali for a research about hunter music. This period had a great influence on his playing and gave him strong keys to approaching other musical concepts.

Julien Jugand is a French guitarist trained in classical music and South-american music under the guidance of maestros such as Arnaud Dumond, Rafael Andia and Jacques Marmoud. Playing and arranging folk and pop music, he also works as a sound engineer and as an electronic music composer, while teaching popular music history and technologies of music in Dieppe's national school of music. 

Manohar Balantchandirane started performing at a very young age under the guidance of his teacher, Mridanga Selvam Kumbakonam Shri N. Padmanaban. He accompanied various artists across India and abroad both in music and dance performances. Recognized as one of the finest upcoming mridangam player in the capital today, Manohar is also a singer, trained in Carnatic music. His knowledge in both Hindustani and Carnatic traditions is rare enough to be mentioned and allows him to develop a lot of collaboration beyond traditional styles.
