The Centre des musiciens du monde presents an unusual encounter between the musical culture of the Basque Country and that of the indigenous Mig’maq nation. The fruit of a creative residency bringing together artists from these two worlds (Darlène Gijuminag, Claudine Arhancet and Michel Etxekopar), this meeting defies borders and brings together cultures that are brothers by land.
Revealing both their age-old traditions and the modernity that emanates from their recent collaborations, this concert will be punctuated by the encounter of traditional Mig’maq and Basque music, echoing the traces and faded images of their first encounters. The artists explore both real and imaginary territories, reminding us that the two communities crossed paths centuries ago.
This concert is presented in co-production with the SMCQ as part of the Montreal/New Music Festival with the participation of the Basques du Québec Euskaldunak association.
