François Rabbath is a renowned Franco-Syrian double bassist who has brought his instrument to the stage alongside some of the greatest names in French music, Barbara, Aznavour, Paco Ibáñez, Édith Piaf. His son Sylvain, alias HabibiSly, a traveling pianist shaped by his father’s international tours, carries on and enriches this legacy in a duo with him.
Their compositions, nourished by atmospheres and landscapes gathered along the way, offer an epic breath and rare depth, where François’ double bass becomes a guide and Sylvain’s piano a fellow traveller.
With AMALL, father and son create a work that is both intimate and universal.
Guest: Minino Garay
SHIRAN & BAKAL draw on the richness of their Yemeni and Iraqi heritage to shape their musical universe. SHIRAN, who has so far sung mainly in Yemeni Arabic, already blended the sounds of the past with contemporary textures. With Electro Baghdad, the duo turns this time toward its Iraqi roots, revisiting songs passed down through generations, carried by analog synthesizers, powerful bass lines, and captivating electronic rhythms.

Concert: 8pm
Ripples Collective is a group of activists, artists, facilitators, Palestinian and Israeli individuals, human beings guided by their heart. Their collaboration creates a living space where art becomes a universal language, capable of crossing borders, moving beyond opposing narratives, and holding collective wounds. For the festival, they present an immersive experience blending music, dance, and singing. More than a performance, it is a shared emotional journey. The audience is invited to move through memory, tension, and pain, and to glimpse a shared vision of the future.
For this remarkable evening, the Consulat Voltaire welcomes us to celebrate peace and social
justice, promoting art as a form of engagement. As a “consulate of the living,” it hosts artists, thinkers, musicians, and citizens working toward a more equitable world.
From 7:00 PM, you will be able to dine on site at the Sababa restaurant, Le goût de la paix, founded by Edgar Laloum, a Franco-Israeli, and Radjaa Aboudagga, a Franco-Palestinian from Gaza. Edgar and Radjaa are convinced that Palestinians and Israelis share a common destiny. Sababa is not just a restaurant: it is a space for dialogue and mutual discovery, echoing the spirit of Ripples Collective.

Ariana Vafadari & Marianne Svašek
Creation - From Jaipur to Isfahan
May 28, 2026
Synagogue Copernic
24, rue Copernic - 75116 Paris
Doors open at 7:45 PM
Concert: 8:30 PM
A wind of freedom : a voice of resistance, a bridge between worlds.
Through the voice of Ariana Vafadari, a song of commitment rises, dedicated to the women of Iran, to minorities, and to all those silenced. A vibrant ode to freedom and feminine strength.
Between purity and delicacy, the music reveals a rare beauty, where ancient heritages enter into dialogue with the present, resonating with influences from ancient Persia.
Alongside Ariana, dhrupad singer Marianne Svašek, pianist Julien Carton, and Rusan Filiztek on saz and lute weave a singular sonic landscape at the crossroads of traditions.
From Iran to Turkey, and all the way to the shores of India, the concert becomes a passage: a journey through myths and memories, an invitation to feel the other and to dream, together, of a wider world.

Addis Ken album release
French Premiere
June 2, 2026
MAHJ
71, rue du Temple - 75003 Paris
Doors open at 7pm
Concert: 8pm
An evening of spirituality, jazz virtuosity, and contemporary rhythms. An intense and deeply
inhabited musical journey.
The Addis Ken Project (“New Day” in Amharic) is a unique musical quartet co-led by legendary Ethiopian saxophonist - singer Abate Berihun and international pianist Roy Mor.
Berihun has established himself as one of Ethiopia’s most important musical voices. He has toured with major figures such as Mulatu Astatke and Mahmoud Ahmed.
Joined by bassist David Michaeli and drummer Nitzan Birnbaum, The Addis Ken Project’s music offers a striking encounter between ancient Ethiopian traditions and the legacy of a modern jazz ensemble, driven by remarkable virtuosity, deep groove, and the spirit of the blues. This project is a spiritual quest blending Judeo-Ethiopian soul and ancient prayers passed down through generations.

Yom
Cosmogonia
Release of the album COSMOGONIA
June 3, 2026
Temple du Foyer de l'Âme
7B, rue du Pasteur Wagner - 75011 Paris
Doors open at 7:15 PM
Concert: 8pm
A hypnotic and vibrant immersion, where breath becomes music and listening turns into a true
sensory experience.
Forget klezmer. Forget the “World Music” labels. For his return, Yom makes a radical break. With COSMOGONIA, he delivers an unfiltered physical performance: a full album based on circular breathing, recorded in a single take, with no overdubs. While the approach is unprecedented, the lineage is clear. COSMOGONIA stands within the heritage of American repetitive minimalism: the mathematical precision of Steve Reich or Philip Glass struck by the physical force and endless breath of a Colin Stetson. Yom is no longer seeking to seduce; he is seeking the threshold state. An intense, physical, and immersive listening experience.

Concert: 8:30 PM
Chaâbi from Algiers, Gnawa groove, and Yiddish soul, to make people dance and celebrate the joy
of being together
Ima, Yemma… “mother” in Hebrew and Arabic, the sounds of the words are so close. This orchestra is not made up of Jews or Muslims, but of artists, brothers and sisters, paying a vibrant tribute to mothers. A tribute to all mothers, but also to all those yet to come.
In the present moment, the IMA YEMMA ORCHESTRA offers a celebration, dance, and music
from all over the world. Yiddish and New York Jewish soul meet Algerian Chaabi and Moroccan Gnawa groove. A dreamed space where the crossing of languages becomes surprise and rhyme, where instruments from all these traditions merge into a single sound.
This concert is a “safe place” at the crossroads of cultures, a grand celebration.

Thanda Choir
South African Choir
First concert in France
June 5, 2026
Saint-Eustache Church
146, rue Rambuteau - 75001 Paris
Doors open at 8pm
Concert: 8:30 PM
Gospel, South African traditions and collective energy in a moment of pure emotion
The Thanda Choir, a South African choir founded two years ago in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, stands out for the beauty and power of its performances. It blends South African musical traditions, particularly through the use of the Xhosa language, with contemporary influences.
The result is both powerful and sublime, combining gospel and Xhosa songs. On stage, their contagious energy creates a true space of freedom. Their repertoire, at the crossroads of South African traditions and contemporary sounds, is deeply moving in its intensity and emotion.
The Thanda Choir will perform this time in the magnificent nave of Église Saint-Eustache, the third
largest church in Paris.
This will be their first concert in Paris, after being invited last June by Melody Gardot to open her
shows at the Olympia.

SELUNE
From spirit to matter, between worlds, from the invisible to the visible
A woman of medicinal arts, Sélune practices both sacred arts and tattooing, as well as alchemical painting. She leads circles, rituals, and retreats, and opens sacred spaces for the sharing of ancestral herbal medicine.
Each of her practices is a ritual in itself: a sacred time of transformation, an experience of sharing, and an offering to the self. With a deep love for line, detail, and subtlety, her work blends esotericism with a connection to the living world. Spirituality infuses both her daily life and her creations, where art and healing move together like two serpents.
Her guidance helps reveal one’s essence, heal, and honor oneself, so that each person may shine
their light and fulfill their mission.
United through the Path of the Heart, On the Path of Unity, For our Mother Earth.
