True to its vocation of traversing the territories where memory and culture meet in dialogue, the Festival du Monde Arabe presents Narrators of Peace, a living musical project that explores music's power to bring people together across cultural and social borders.

This is an odyssey celebrating the musical heritage of a foundational land, the cradle of civilizations. Between the Tigris and the Euphrates, lyres, harps, flutes, percussion, songs, rituals, and stories have shaped a sonic imagination whose echoes have travelled across the centuries.

At the heart of a program devoted to the dialogue of imaginations and the richness of heritage, a vocal presence of striking rarity is poised to set the city resonating. With Walaa Al Jundi, Arabic song regains its full depth, in a sensitive dialogue between the richness of the great Eastern repertoires and an interpretation marked by modernity.
