« From Kabul to Bamako » is a project on the theme of exile, forced departure, but also new beginnings. If these two cities are separated by thousands of kilometers, they are not connected by a road, but by a community, by similar destinies. This musical project explores the various memories and identities of exiled artists that managed to keep their cultural heritage as a unique baggage. Through their art, their home country resides in their heart. With this project, we navigate through these countries, from which many have to leave : Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Kurdistan, Soudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Uganda and Mali. As many nationalities as histories, carried by the same will : tell the story of destinies that thousands share. "From Kaboul to Bamako" isn't only a record but a journey, a true transcultural creation that allows the artists to express their emotions, and the listener to hear those different paths.
