The Khoury Project
The three brothers Elia, Basil and Osama, formed the Khoury Trio, now THE KHOURY PROJECT, in 2002. The Khoury Project's music is contemporary, combining identifiable Arabic forms with globalised rhythms. Although faithful to the great tradition of classical Arabic music, the Khourys have fused their music with many other genres including opera, flamenco, Celtic, Indian, and jazz.
 BandAdriatica
BANDADRIATICA's music comes from the sea, conceived during the flat silence of dark nights or in the heat of burning daylight, on the bridge of a boat which has magically been the place where different cultures came to meet.

Sona Jobarteh
SONA JOBARTEH is the first female kora virtuoso to come from a West African griot family. Breaking away from tradition, she is a modern- day pioneer in an ancient, male-dominated hereditary tradition that has been exclusively handed down from father to son for the past seven centuries. She has modernised the presentation of kora music bringing a rhythmic edge to her compositions which are very up to date and fit her remarkable singing.
