KAZUNARI ABE
http://kazunariabe.jp

An intriguing interaction across stylistic borders. The incredible voices of the Corsican group of singers A Filetta and Lebanese singer Fadia Tomb El-Hage come together in an organical way. Added to this are the chanting, flute-playing and taiko drumming by Japanese musician Kazunari Abe and the electronical music by Polish composer Olga Wojciechowska.
