Kabatééé

Kabaté is an interjection in Hindi to encourage and congratulate a musician whose talent and virtuosity are admired, and Perrine Bourel and Mosin Kawa are no exception!

Mosin Kawa has been playing the tabla since the age of three with his father Ustad Shabbir Ahmed. He perpetuates a musical tradition that has been passed down for seven generations in his family from the village of Gokulpura in Rajasthan. Perrine Bourel lives in the Buëch valley in the Hautes-Alpes. She has been playing the violin since she was a child, reviving the music of the fiddlers of the Southern Alps and the Dauphiné, which is virtually forgotten today.

Mosin Kawa and Perrine Bourel combine their respective talents to create a music steeped in the fiddle music of the Alps and Massif Central, and criss-crossed by an ocean of supple, luminous percussion.
