Strings Tradition. Ancient, millenary musical traditions, belonging to different countries, of different continents, and that however manage to meet, on the strings of old and fascinating instruments. Strings Tradition is an original production, different from the countless recordings which try to mix and mingle musical cultures of various origins. First of all because it deals with the union of classical traditions (West Africa, North Indian and that of Southern india) which have little in common with the vague idea of ???popular music?? that we usually attribute to ???ethnic?? sounds. It is important to underline that we are witnesses of a coming together of instruments of great relevance, as the sitar, the violin and the kora. In the same way, the artists involved in this project MAMADOU DIABATE, SHUJAAT KHAN e LALGUDI GJR KRISHNAN are all important musicians in their own countries and both Diabate and Shujaat have been nominated for the Grammy Awards in the World Music category.
