“…this young festival from the Île-de-France region grounds its editorial direction in the idea of
eclecticism and cultural diversity. An approach that allows it to blend cultures and beliefs with both
relevance and flair.”
LE MONDE
Arthur H: “To improvise music is to enter into a connection with what cannot be explained and with
others. The sacred, for me, is not religious. It is simply life.”
LA TRIBUNE HEBDO
The concept? “To blend the sacred with contemporary music, to bring together artists who might be
prevented from performing elsewhere but are protected here, and to offer music that speaks to
everyone, regardless of their origin, culture, or age."
CULT NEWS
“To me, music is a form of prayer. I feel that in every concert or live performance there is a kind of
spiritual gathering. In my view, that is what is most sacred: connecting, loving, crying, and rejoicing
together.”
NETA ELKAYAM
“Focused on mysticism, Sacré Sound advocates intercultural dialogue. A godsend in these times
of tension and withdrawal, this lineup also embraces musical diversity…”
STARWAXMAG
« Le Sacré Sound Festival poursuit une ambition double : faire se rencontrer des musiques spirituelles et profanes, plus actuelles, pour toucher un public diversifié mais aussi permettre à des artistes, parfois séparés par des enjeux géopolitiques, de créer ensemble.»
REFORME
“Éléonore Ferniau, a French musician, spent six years in Turkey within Kurdish and Alevi
communities and has since established herself as a leading figure in traditional Kurdish music.”
TELERAMA
“The Sacré Sound Festival brings the music of the sacred and spirituality to life, where one
discovers above all poets speaking from human to human.”
SORO SOLO
“‘What I loved most is that we are all going to be together, Walid, who is of Moroccan origin,
myself, a Christian, and perform in a synagogue; there is something there… extraordinary.’”
MARIE MARGUERITE CANO
“‘These kinds of initiatives are the future; they are what will allow us as human beings to transcend
our condition…’”
WALID BEN SELIM
“‘The sacred is what I am searching for, a kind of energy in music. Music becomes music when it
is sacred, it is something energetic, not cultural. There is no music that is more sacred than
another by essence or origin. The sacred is an inner quest within music itself.’”
