Muziekpublique brings together around twenty virtuosos who are refugees from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Tibet, who finally ended up in Belgium. The objective is to reveal talents and cultural treasures that have become virtually invisible in Belgium. These are experienced musicians who have been trained at some of the most prestigious music academies in the Middle East (Damascus, Baghdad, Aleppo) and who have passed through a string of musical centers dotted along the former Silk road. Their CD builds bridge between the musicians and the different traditions they represent, in order to produce an album that is rich, innovative and a mark of diversity and cultural exchange. This album aims at highlighting the virtuosos who took part in it, but also at supporting artistic activities with other refugees in Belgium. A part of the benefits from the CD sale will go to the NPO's Globe Aroma and Synergie 14 to support their activities.
