Musicians :
Michaël Bourry develops a real passion for Gascony music on which he carries out a work of impregnation, research and understanding both ethno-musicological and artistic.
By alternating between a regular practice of the traditional balls as a musician (and dancer), and a research work on the roots of these musics via collecting documents and meetings, he forges a musical space that allows him to mature his practice through the musical projects and professional groups in which he participates. The teaching of the violin and the Gascon dances also allows him to perfect his art.
Pierre Rouch, oboe builder and bagpipe specialist on the instrumentarium of the Pyrenees. He carries out a research work on the ancient instruments and also works on the making of instruments adapted to the current musics. For about twenty years, he has taken part to different musical projects: Gadalzen, Mosaica, Matta Rouch, Bouilleur de sons ...
These two musicians offer you a musical journey through the Pyrenees, from the Basque Country to Catalonia, to discover traditional instruments.
