Constantinople has been part of Quebec’s musical landscape for 10 years now, guiding its audiences on a journey through time and culture. Back from a tour of Senegal, Mauritania, Algeria and France, Kiya Tabassian and his band present Souffles, where the songs and prayers of the Mi’kmaq and Innu throat-singing mingle with the diphonic chants of Tuva, a republic in eastern Russia bordering Mongolia. Adding to the dialogue are the ensemble’s signature instruments – setar, frame drums and viola da gamba – as well as the oldest and most emblematic instrument of the Sufis and Persian music, the reed flute called the ney.
