New Shamanic Music - Musiques Nouvelles

Music plays a fundamental role in shamanic rituals: it is the mediator between the shaman and the spirits. Our ancestors used music and songs to unite the Land of Men with that of the Gods. The most ancient rituals salute the spirit and the strength of Nature before which we are so fragile, to implore her protection or to thank her for her generosity.

Four musicians of Musiques Nouvelles, experienced practitioners of traditional and classical western instruments, bring these ancient and beneficial rituals to life.
