Three young musicians with Iranian origins enlighten Persian traditional music with their talent. It is impossible to not succumb to their feminine complicity and coolness. Real virtuosos, they offer an intoxicating rhythm mixing lutes (tar and setar), ghanun (table zither) and tomb (percussion).
Their performances are built upon the subtle râdif codes, where intense rhythmical passages reply to melodious resonant tirades, where personal and modern improvisations join ancient Persian compositions. The listener sinks into the delicate depths of melancholic contemplation then gushes out transported by the percussions’ solar joy, whose beats liberate the cluttered heart. Amid this harmony opens a window that looks onto a singular musical universe, both intimate and magnificent.
The Trio Chakam was formed in 2014, celebrating a long friendship, and has presented its art in front moved audiences in France, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Ambassadors of one of the most beautiful thing in Iranian culture, the group performed in 2016 at Pully’s Octogone before the great artist Kayhan Kalhor.
