Carrefour international: Songs of Altai

Every two years, L'Espace Pasolini, Valenciennes' artistic laboratory, celebrates international artistic cultures by organizing times of meetings and performances associating local artists and artists from other countries.

This year, khöömii, Mongolian diphonic singing, is honored through three prestigious guests: Johanni Curtet (ethnomusicologist, diphonic singing teacher and producer), Batsükh Dorj (musician and Tuva diphonic singer from Mongolia) and Banlandorj Arvimed (bard and musician from Mongolia's Uriankhai ethnic group).

This project was funded by CVEC.
