Between Two Notes
October 27, 2016
A musical journey to transcend borders
"The world is divided in half-east and west - the halves weep - they long for each other."
A journey through Arabic music: Tel Aviv, Cairo, Jerusalem, Beirut, Damascus, Aleppo
. In a troubled world, these cities share a common inheritance, that of classical Arab music. Florence Strauss leaves Paris for the Middle East to discover an unknown and hidden part of her family's past. Her journey and quest are transformed by the people that she meets along the way. She records encounters with musicians mainly, who are also poets and visionaries of this musical history of the Middle East that they have carried and passed on in the sound of their voices.
Young and elder, Muslims, Christians and Jews by voice and traditional instruments they are all inspired by Abdelwahab and Oum Kalthoum, the Egyptian icons. They carry on their own melodies of their voice and the rhythm of their hands. Followed by conversation with Amit Breuer, film producer.
