"Thirteenth-century Sufi poet Djalâl-ud-Dîn Rûmî once wrote, ""God, grant musicians fingers of sugar and, for the tombak, an iron hand."" Poets of Persian percussion, who have proven their excellence time and time again, the Chemirani family, father and sons, have embodied this mystical doctrine for more than twenty years. Lovers of encounters, more than codes or boundaries, the Chemiranis invite - both in the studio and onstage - the jazz of Omar Sosa and the Mandinka filigree of Ballaké Sissoko to invent something novel, between dialogues and improvisations. Here, amid exchanged glances, they explore their virtuosity, and their smiles bear witness to the great brotherhood that exists between these musicians, who combine tombaks, dafs, udus, bendir, piano-drum and crystalline kora with grace, creating sublime moments. **Jeanne Lacaille**".
