Music:
Oktoécho guides the listener into a sonic world brimming with lyricism in a space between the musics of the Middle East, Aboriginal and the West. Under the artistic direction of composer Katia Makdissi-Warren, Oktoécho explores mixed music and musical sounds through its own creations.
When a Sufi singer in the Oktoecho ensemble heard Inuit throat singing, he was amazed at the similarities between the two traditions. And that's what the 20-plus member group is all about: bringing together Middle Eastern, Indigenous and Western musical traditions. Co-founder and composer Katia Makdissi-Warren, and Inuit throat-singer, Nina Segalowitz, share how meaningful this project has become after 2 decades!
