With an orchestra composed of five Myanmar musicians and five French musicians, Anne Paceo has drawn a bridge between traditional Myanmar music and French/European music by proposing a common ground, opening a space in which musicians of very diverse horizons could come together to create luminous hybrid compositions that escape any borders.
The music of the band is inspired by stories and folk tales of Myanmar. These legends address the origins of the earth and the stars, elements and nature… the album includes new compositions by Anne Paceo specially written for the band, Burmese pieces and compositions by Hein Tint.
“Rarely have two cultures, two musical histories, coexisted so well, this music has absolutely nothing artificial or calculated about it, it is of a rare spirituality, in that it wonderfully embodies the idea of playing together” – Jazzmag
“The magic works like magic and the western sounds blend harmoniously with the complex music of the traditional music band.” – FIP
“A jazz between fable and mythology that moves and surprises” – Ouest France
