About Askanyi
ASKANYI is a unique ensemble combining a string quartet and a group of singers of African origin. Together they mix classical music with African polyphonic vocals to give birth to a new kind of music which echoes today’s multicultural environment.
After having recorded a debut album in which have reinterpreted a selection of African vocal compositions from Senegal, Congo & Burundi, Askanyi presents its new production called " Ainsi, Libre ..." (Thus, Free…), a repertoire filled with profound yet universal humanistic thoughts placed against a background of unclassifiable music, performed by a string quartet and 3 female voices.
The ensemble pulls it’s inspiration from Khalil Jibran's famous novel called "The Prophet” and in turn invites the public to discover a kaleidoscope of musical styles and influences. Certain passages could be reminiscent of Monteverdi's baroque music, while others echo the more minimalist style of Philip Glass integrated in a universe evocative of songs from Maghreb and West Africa.
